POSSIBLE CAUSE
●
Not
plugged
in. Plug may have been bumped loose by vacuum cleaner
or furniture.
●
Curtain, blinds or furniture blocking the top or the front of the air conditioner
will restrict air flow.
●
Thermostat Control may not be set high enough. Move the knob to a higher
number. Highest setting should provide maximum cooling.
Air
dirty, should be cleaned at least every 30 days.
●
Room may have been very hot when air conditioner was first turned on.
Allow time for it to cool down.
●
Cold air may be escaping through open furnace floor registers and
air returns.
●
Ventilation Control may be set at OPEN position, allowing hot outside
air to enter the room.
●
Cooling coils have iced up. To melt ice, move the Selector Switch to HI FAN
and the Thermostat Control to a lower number.
●
Thermostat click, a metallic sound, may be 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.
●
Excess water may
extremely hot and humid weather. This is normal.
Air conditioner must be installed level or tilted slightly 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 and thrown against the outdoor
condenser coil.
