Troubleshooting Tips. 

Normal Operating Sounds

„

You may hear a pinging noise caused by 
water being picked up and thrown against the 
condenser on rainy days or when the humidity  
is high. This design feature helps remove 
moisture and improve efficiency.

„

You may hear the thermostat click when the 
compressor cycles on and off.

„

Water will collect in the base pan during 
high humidity or on rainy days. The water 
may overflow and drip from the outdoor side 
of the unit.

„

The fan may run even when the compressor  
does not.
