Troubleshooting
The following symptoms do not indicate malfunction.
Symptom Cause
POWER indicator blinks before the unit
is switched on.
• This is the preliminary step to prepare for the
TIMER operation after it has been set.
• When Timer is set ON, the unit may start earlier
(up to 15 minutes) before the actual set time to
achieve the desired temperature on time.
TIMER indicator is always ON. • When Timer has been set, the Timer setting
repeats daily.
Operation is delayed a few minutes after
restarting.
• The delay is a protection to the unit’s
compressor.
Indoor fan stops occasionally during
automatic fan speed setting.
• This is to help remove the surrounding odour.
The room has a peculiar odour. • This may be due to damp smell emitted by the
wall, carpet, furniture or clothing.
Cracking sound during operation. • Changes in temperature caused the unit to
expand and contract.
Water fl owing sound during operation. • Refrigerant fl ow inside the unit.
Mist emerges from indoor unit. • During cooling operation, the discharged cold air
may condense to water vapour.
Outdoor unit emits water or steam. • During cooling operation, condensation occurs
on cold pipes and the condensed water may drip
from the outdoor unit.
Discoloration of some plastic parts. • Discoloration is subjected to the types of
materials used in plastic parts. It is accelerated
when exposed to heat, sun light, UV light or
environmental factors.
Check the following before calling for servicing.
