not affected
Air inlet
Check whether or not dust or for-
eign substances adhere to the dust
sensor of the air inlet.
Wipe the dust sensor with a dry
soft cloth.
If there is no improvement in symp-
toms, then replace the P.C.B AU.

ity.
If there is no continuity, replace the
cord reel patition unit.

P.C.B AU.
Motor continuity
Check the conduction between the
terminals of the motor.
If there is no continuity, replace the
motor.
ON/OFF
Switch
Check continuity across switch
connections
If there is no continuity, replace
P.C.B AU.
Triac (Inside of P.C.B.)
Check if there is any problem in the
triac.
(Please refer to how to check the
triac.)
If it has any problem, replace the
P.C.B AU.
