FAQ
Indoor unit
Outdoor unit
The air conditioner stops generating
airflow during HEAT operation.
• Once the set temperature is reached, the airflow rate is
reduced and operation stopped in order to avoid
generating a cool airflow. Operation will resume
automatically when the indoor temperature falls.
HEAT operation stops suddenly and
a flowing sound is heard.
• The outdoor unit is defrosting. HEAT operation starts
after the frost on the outdoor unit has been removed.
This can take about 4 to 12 minutes.
Operation does not start soon.
When
was pressed soon after operation
was stopped.
When the mode was reselected.
• This is to protect the air conditioner.
You should wait for about 3 minutes.
The flaps do not start swinging
immediately.
• The air conditioner is adjusting the position of the flaps.
The flaps will start moving soon.
Different sounds are heard.
A sound like flowing water
• This sound is generated because the refrigerant in
the air conditioner is flowing.
• This is a pumping sound of the water in the
air conditioner and can be heard when the water is
pumped out from the air conditioner during COOL or
DRY operation.
Blowing sound
• This sound is generated when the flow of the
refrigerant in the air conditioner is switched over.
Ticking sound
• This sound is generated when the cabinet and
frame of the air conditioner slightly expand or shrink
as a result of temperature changes.
Whistling sound
• This sound is generated when refrigerant flows
during defrosting operation.
Clicking sound during operation or idle time
• This sound is generated when the refrigerant control
valves or the electrical parts operate.
Clopping sound
• This sound is heard from the inside of the air
conditioner when the exhaust fan is activated while
the room doors are closed. Open the window or turn
off the exhaust fan.
The outdoor unit emits water or steam.
In HEAT operation
• The frost on the outdoor unit melts into water or steam when the air
conditioner is in defrosting operation.
In COOL or DRY operation
• Moisture in the air condenses into water on the cool surface of the outdoor
unit piping and drips.
