7. Troubleshooting
Having trouble?
Here is the solution. (Unit is operating normally.)
Air conditioner does not heat or cool well.
Clean the filter. (Airflow is reduced when the filter is dirty or clogged.)
Check the temperature adjustment and adjust the set temperature.
Make sure that there is plenty of space around the outdoor unit. Is the
indoor unit air inlet or outlet blocked?
Has a door or window been left open?
When heating operation starts, warm air does not blow from the indoor
unit soon.
Warm air does not blow until the indoor unit has sufficiently warmed
up.
During heat mode, the air conditioner stops before the set room
temperature is reached.
When the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is high,
frost may form on the outdoor unit. If this occurs, the outdoor unit
performs a defrosting operation. Normal operation should begin after
approximately 10 minutes.
Airflow up/down direction changes during operation or airflow up/down
direction cannot be set.
During cool mode, the vanes automatically move to the horizontal
(down) position after 1 hour when the down (horizontal) airflow up/
down direction is selected. This is to prevent water from forming and
dripping from the vanes.
During heat mode, the vanes automatically move to the horizontal
airflow up/down direction when the airflow temperature is low or
during defrosting mode.
When the airflow up/down direction is changed, the vanes always move
up and down past the set position before finally stopping at the position.
When the airflow up/down direction is changed, the vanes move to the
set position after detecting the base position.
A flowing water sound or occasional hissing sound is heard.
These sounds can be heard when refrigerant is flowing in the air
conditioner or when the refrigerant flow is changing.
A cracking or creaking sound is heard.
These sounds can be heard when parts rub against each due to
expansion and contraction from temperature changes.
The room has an unpleasant odor.
The indoor unit draws in air that contains gases produced from the
walls, carpeting, and furniture as well as odors trapped in clothing,
and then blows this air back into the room.
A white mist or vapor is emitted from the indoor unit.
If the indoor temperature and the humidity are high, this condition may
occur when operation starts.
During defrosting mode, cool airflow may blow down and appear like a
mist.
Water or vapor is emitted from the outdoor unit.
During cool mode, water may form and drip from the cool pipes and
joints.
During heat mode, water may form and drip from the heat exchanger.
During defrosting mode, water on the heat exchanger evaporates and
water vapor may be emitted.

Do not attempt to repair this equipment by yourself.
Turn off the power switch immediately and consult your dealer. Be
sure to provide the dealer with the model name and information that
appeared in the remote controller display.
Draining water or motor rotation sound is heard.
When cooling operation stops, the drain pump operates and then
stops. Wait approximately 3 minutes.
When dry mode starts, the set temperature changes.
When Dry mode starts, the set temperature automatically changes to
the optimum initial set temperature.
