Common Issues

The following problems are not a malfunction and, in most situations, will not require repairs.

Issue

Possible Causes

Unit does not turn on when 
pressing ON/OFF button

The unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading. The 
unit cannot be restarted within three minutes of being turned off

The unit changes from 
COOL/HEAT mode to FAN 
mode

The unit may change its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once the 
temperature increases, the unit will start operating in the previously selected mode 
again.

The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off the compressor. 
The unit will continue operating when the temperature fluctuates again.

The indoor unit emits white 
mist

In humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room's air and the 
conditioned air can cause white mist.

Both the indoor and outfoor 
units emit white mist

When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted due 
to moisture generated from the defrosting process.

The indoor unit makes 
noises

A rushing air soung may occur when the louver resets its position.

A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to expansion 
and contraction of the unit's plastic parts.

Both the indoor unit and 
outdoor unit make noises

Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas 
flowing through both indoor and outdoor units.

Low hissing sound when the system starts, has just stopped running, or is defrosting: 
This noise is normal and is caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.

Squeaking sound: Normal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal parts caused 
by temperature changes during operation can cause squeaking noises.
