Before calling for service, please review the following list of common
problems and solutions.
The air conditioner is operating normally when:
• You hear a pinging noise. This is caused by water being picked up by the fan on
rainy days or in highly humid conditions. This feature is designed to help remove
moisture in the air and improve cooling efficiency.
See the section on Slinger Fan, page 20.
• You hear the thermostat click. This is caused by the compressor cycle starting
and stopping.
• You see water dripping from the rear of the unit. Water may be collected in the
base pan in highly humid conditions or on rainy days. This water overflows and
drips from the rear of the unit.
• You hear the fan running while the compressor is silent. This is a normal
operational feature.
