POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
●
Not plugged in. Plug may have been bumped loose by vacuum cleaner or furniture.
. If plugged in, fuse could have blown or circuit breaker may have tripped.
. Curtains, blinds or furniture blocking front of air conditioner will restrict airflow.
●
Thermostat Control may not be set high enough. Turn control to a higher number.
Highest setting should provide maximum cooling. When Energy Saver Switch (on some
models) is set at SAVE, temperature range in room will vary more.
●
Air filter dirty, should be cleaned at least every 30 days. See instructions on page 5.
●
Room may have been very hot when air conditioner was first turned on. Allow time for
it to cool down.
●
Cold air maybe escaping through open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.
●
Ventilation control maybe set at open position, allowing hot outside air to enter
the room.
●
Cooling coils have iced up. To melt ice, set the Selector Switch to HIGH FAN and the
Thermostat Control to a lower number.
●
Thermostat click, a metallic sound, maybe heard when compressor cycles on and off.
This is normal.
●
Fan runs continuously when Selector Switch is in Cool or Fan position. This is normal.
When Energy Saver Switch (on some models) is set at SAVE, fan cycles on and off with
compressor.
●
Excess water may overflow in extremely hot and humid weather. This is normal.
●
Air conditioner must be installed with the specified tilt to the outside for proper water
disposal.
●
This is normal for a short period in areas with little humidity; normal for a longer
period in very humid areas. Moisture removed from indoor air drains to rear of cabinet
where it is picked up by a fan ring and thrown against the outdoor condenser coil.
