| Having Trouble? | Here is the solution. (Unit is operating normally.) |
| Air conditioner does not heat or cool well. | Clean the filter. (Airflow is reduced when the filter is dirty or clogged.)
■ Check the temperature adjustment and adjust the set temperature. ■ Make sure that there is plenty of space around the outdoor unit. Is the indoor unit air intake or outlet blocked? ■ Has a door or window been left open? |
| When heating operation starts, warm air does not blow from the indoor unit soon. | Warm air does not blow until the indoor unit has sufficiently warmed up. |
| During heating mode, the air conditioner stops before the set room temperature is reached. | When the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is high, frost may form on the outdoor unit. If this occurs, the outdoor unit performs a defrosting operation. Normal operation should begin after approximately 10 minutes. |
| When the airflow direction is changed, the vanes always move up and down past the set position before finally stopping at the position. | When the airflow direction is changed, the vanes move to the set position after detecting the base position. |
| A flowing water sound or occasional hissing sound is heard. | These sounds can be heard when refrigerant is flowing in the air conditioner or when the refrigerant flow is changing. |
| A cracking or creaking sound is heard. | These sounds can be heard when parts rub against each due to expansion and contraction from temperature changes. |
| The room has an unpleasant odour. | The indoor unit draws in air that contains gases produced from the walls, carpeting, and furniture as well as odours trapped in clothing, and then blows this air back into the room. |
| A white mist or vapour is emitted from the indoor unit. | If the indoor temperature and the humidity are high, this condition may occur when operation starts.
■ During defrosting mode, cool airflow may blow down and appear like a mist. |
| Water or vapour is emitted from the outdoor unit. | During cooling mode, water may form and drip from the cool pipes and joints.
■ During heating mode, water may form and drip from the heat exchanger. ■ During defrosting mode, water on the heat exchanger evaporates and water vapour may be emitted. |
| The operation indicator does not appear in the remote controller display | Turn on the power switch. A filled-in circle will appear in the remote controller display. |
| A stroked out image appears in the remote controller display | During central control, the stroked out image appears in the remote controller display and air conditioner operation cannot be started or stopped using the remote controller. |
| When restarting the air conditioner soon after stopping it, it does not operate even though the ON/OFF button is pressed. | Wait approximately three minutes.
(Operation has stopped to protect the air conditioner.) |
| Air conditioner operates without the ON/OFF button being pressed. | Is the on timer set?
Press the ON/OFF button to stop operation. ■ Is the air conditioner connected to a central remote controller? Consult the concerned people who control the air conditioner. ■ Does a stroked out image appear in the remote controller display? Consult the concerned people who control the air conditioner. ■ Has the auto recovery feature from power failures been set? Press the ON/OFF button to stop operation. |
| Air conditioner stops without the ON/OFF button being pressed. | Is the off timer set?
Press the ON/OFF button to restart operation. ■ Is the air conditioner connected to a central remote controller? Consult the concerned people who control the air conditioner. ■ Does a stroked out image appear in the remote controller display? Consult the concerned people who control the air conditioner |
| Remote controller timer operation cannot be set. | Are timer settings invalid?
If the timer can be set, “weekly”, “simple”, or “auto off” appears in the remote controller display |
| “PLEASE WAIT” appears in the remote controller display. | The initial settings are being performed. Wait approximately 3 minutes. |
| An error code appears in the remote controller display. | The protection devices have operated to protect the air conditioner.
■ Do not attempt to repair this equipment by yourself. Turn off the power switch immediately and consult your dealer. Be sure to provide the dealer with the model name and information that appeared in the remote controller display. |
| Draining water or motor rotation sound is heard. | When cooling operation stops, the drain pump operates and then stops. Wait approximately 3 minutes |
| The fan speed changes in spite of not changing the setting. | Not to blow out cold air at the beginning of heating operation, the air conditioner automatically adjusts the fan speed gradually from lower to the set speed. It also adjust its fan speed to protect the fan motor when return air temperature or fan speed excessively rises. |
| Noise is louder than specifications. | The indoor operation sound level is affected by the acoustics of the particular room as shown in the following table and will be higher than the noise specification, which was measured in an echo-free room. |
| Nothing appears in the wireless remote controller display, the display is faint, or signals are not received by the indoor unit unless the remote controller is close. | The batteries are low.
Replace the batteries and press the Reset button. If nothing appears even after the batteries are replaced, make sure that the batteries are installed in the correct directions (+, –). |
| The operation lamp near the receiver for the wireless remote controller on the indoor unit is flashing. | The self diagnosis function has operated to protect the air conditioner.
■ Do not attempt to repair this equipment by yourself. Turn off the power switch immediately and consult your dealer. Be sure to provide the dealer with the model name. |
