• Solenoid valve works when defrost operation starts or finishes.
• When the operation has started, during the operation, or immediately
after the operation has stopped, a sound such as water flows may be
heard, and the operation sound may become larger for 2 or 3 minutes
immediately after the operation has started.
They are flowing sound of refrigerant or draining sound of dehumidifier.
• This is sound generated when heat exchanger, etc. expand and
contract slightly due to change of temperature.
• Various smell such as one of wall, carpet, clothes, cigarette, or
cosmetics adhere to the air conditioner.
• When cooling operation cannot be performed because another indoor
unit performs heating operation.
• When the manager of the air conditioner has fixed the operation to
COOL or HEAT, and an operation contrary to the setup operation is
performed.
• When fan operation stopped to prevent discharge of hot air.
• Since refrigerant is flowed temporarily to prevent stay of oil or refriger-
ant in the stand by indoor unit, sound of flowing refrigerant, “Kyururu”
or “Shaa” may be heard or white steam when other indoor unit
operates in HEAT mode, and cold air in COOL mode may be blow-out.
• Sound is generated when the expansion valve operates when power
has been turned on.

carried out for the refrigerant recovery control of unoperated unit.
• Is the timer “ON” or “OFF”?
• Is it a power failure?
• Is the power switch turned off?
• Is the power fuse or breaker blown?
