TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling for service, try the suggestions below to see whether you can solve your problem without outside help.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
Air conditioner seems to run too much
■
The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The use
of more efficient components may cause the air conditioner
to run longer than an older model, but the total energy
consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not emit
the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to from older
air conditioners, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling
capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and
capacity rating (in BTU/h) marked on the air conditioner.
■
The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-
producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust
vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-
producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A
higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending
on the size of the room being cooled .
Air conditioner cycles on and off too
much or does not cool room in
cooling mode
■
The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room. Check
the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner. Room air
conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.
■
The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
■
There is excessive heat or moisture (open container cooking,
showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust heat or
moisture from the room. Try not to use heat-producing
appliances during the hottest part of the day.
■
The air intakes are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a
location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds,
furniture, etc.
■
The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is
extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner
to cool off a very hot room.
■
Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all windows
and doors.
■
The temperature setting is not set to a cool enough setting.
Adjust the temperature to a cooler setting by pressing the
minus button to reduce the temperature. Set the Fan Speed
control to the highest setting.
