Troubleshooting 

Problem Possible 

Causes Solutions 

The portable air conditioner 

does not turn on 

There was a power failure 

 

The automatic switch, line 

fuse, or breaker has been 

tripped 

 

 

 

 

 

The power supply voltage is 

too low 

 

The power cord is damaged 

 

 

The LCDI plug for the unit is 

tripped 

Restore the power supply 

 

Flip the switch, change the 

fuse, or turn the breaker back 

on. Also note that you may 

have too many appliances 

drawing power on one circuit, 

so you may need to move 

some onto another circuit 

 

Move the unit onto another 

circuit with the correct voltage

 

Call for service. Only 

authorized servicers should 

replace damaged plugs 

Press the Reset button on the 

portable air conditioner's plug 

The unit turns on, but the 

compressor does not turn on- 

the fan runs, but there is no 

cooling 

The room temperature is 

outside of the operational 

tolerances of the unit 

 

The Cooling mode is not on 

 

 

 

The compressor has not 

turned on yet because of its 

time delay 

 

The set temperature is too 

high 

 

The internal water reservoir is 

full 

This unit is designed to work 

in ambient temperatures of 

64°F to 100°F 

 

Press the Mode button until 

the Cooling icon is shown on 

the control panel 

 

Give the compressor 3 

minutes to turn on after the 

Cooling mode has been 

selected 

Reset the temperature lower 

 

Check the water level 

indicator on the control panel. 

If it is lit, either manually drain 

the water or allow the unit to 

exhaust the water itself. Then 

cooling will resume 

The air coming out of the unit 

is not very cold, or the airflow 

volume is weak 

The filter is dirty or obstructed 

 

The air intake is obstructed 

 

 

Clean the filter 

 

Make sure there is at least 

20" of clearance from the air 

intake
