TROUBLESHOOTING 

 
 
 

WARNING

 

 
Do not attempt any repairs on the unit yourself. Incorrect repair can cause shock or fire. Always call a 
qualified service professional. Using these troubleshooting suggestions can save time when you contact 
the qualified service professional. 
 
 

PROBLEM 

CAUSE/SOLUTION 

System does not restart. 

Cause

: The system has a built-in three-minute delay to prevent short and/or rapid cycling 

of the Compressor.  

  

Solution

: Wait three minutes for the protection delay to expire. 

Indoor unit emits  

Cause:

 Typically unpleasant odors are the result of mold or mildew forming on the coil 

unpleasant odor 

surfaces or air filter. 

when started 

  

  

Solution:

 Wash indoor air filter in warm water with mild cleaner. If odors persist,  

  

contact a qualified service professional to clean the coil surfaces. 

You hear a  

Cause: 

It is normal for the system to make “water flowing” or “gurgling” sounds from 

“water flowing” sound. 

refrigerant pressures equalizing when the compressor starts and stops. 

  

Solution:

 The noises should discontinue as the refrigerant system equalizes after two or 

  

three minutes. 

A thin fog or vapor  

Cause:

 It is normal for the system to emit a slight fog or water vapor when cooling 

coming out of the indoor 

extremely humid warm air. 

unit when system is 

  

running. 

Solution:

 The fog or water vapor will disappear as the system cools and 

  

dehumidifies the room space. 

You hear a slight cracking 
sound when the system 
stops or starts.  

Cause:

 It is normal for the system to make “slight cracking” sounds from parts expanding 

and contracting during system starts and stops. 

 

Solution:

 The noises should discontinue as temperature equalizes after two or three 

minutes. 

The system will not run. 

Cause:

 There are a number of situations that will prevent the system from running. 

Heating or cooling 

Solution:

 Check for the following: 

not running efficiently. 

• Circuit breaker is “tripped” or “turned off.” 

  

• Power button of remote is not turned on. 

  

• Batteries in the remote controller are low. 

  

• Remote controller is in sleep mode or timer mode. 

  

• Otherwise, you should contact a qualified service professional for assistance. 

The system will not run. 

Cause:

 With routine maintenance, your system is designed for years of peak efficiency. 

Heating or cooling 

Solution:

 Check the following: 

not running efficiently. 

• Remove obstructions blocking airflow into the room. 

  

• Clean dirty or blocked indoor air filter that is restricting airflow into the system. 

  

• Seal outdoor air leaks in the room space from door or windows. 

  

• Relocate (if possible) other heating sources in the room space.
