Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
AIR CONDITIONER DOES
NOT OPERATE
•
Not plugged in. Plug may have been bumped loose by vacuum cleaner or
furniture.
•
If plugged in, fuse could have blown or circuit breaker may have been tripped.
AIR CONDITIONER
“DOES NOT HEAT OR
COOL AS IT SHOULD”
•
Curtains, blinds or furniture blocking front of air conditioner will restrict air
flow.
WATER LEAKS INSIDE
•
Air conditioner is not installed level. Install level or tilt slightly toward the
outside.
WATER LEAKS OUTSIDE
•
Excess water may overflow in extremely hot and humid weather.
This is normal.
NOISY OPERATION
•
When compressor or fan switches on and off, a metallic knock may be heard.
This is normal.
•
Something is hitting or vibrating inside the cabinet. Turn off air conditioner and
consult your dealer.
•
Thermostat Control may not be set high or low enough. Also, when Fan Switch
is at CYCLE, the temperature in the room will vary more than when it’s at
CONTINUOUS. Turn knob to another number. Highest setting should provide
maximum cooling. The lowest setting should provide maximum heating.
•
Air filter dirty, should be cleaned at least every 30 days.
•
Room may have been very hot or cold when air conditioner was first turned on.
Allow time for it to cool down or warm up.
•
Conditioned air may be escaping through open furnace floor registers and cold
air returns.
•
Cooling coils have iced up. To melt ice, set the Fan at high speed and the
Thermostat Control to a lower number.
