(ON OUTDOOR SIDE)
POSSIBLE CAUSE
●
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 tripped.
●
Curtains, blinds or furniture blocking front of air conditioner will restrict
air flow.
●
Thermostat Control may not be set high enough. Turn control to a
higher number. Highest setting should provide maximum cooling. When Energy
Saver Switch (on some models) is set at SAVE, temperature range in room will
vary more.
●
Air filter dirty, should be cleaned least every 30 days.
●
Room may have been very hot when air conditioner was first turned on.
Allow time for it to cool down.
Cold air may be escaping through open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.
●
Ventilation control may be set at OPEN position, allowing hot outside air to
enter the room.
●
Cooling coils have iced up. To melt ice, set the Selector Switch to HIGH FAN
and the Thermostat Control to a lower number.
Thermostat click, a metallic sound, may be heard when compressor cycles on
and off. This is normal.
●
Fans run continuously when Selector Switch is in Cool or Fan position.
This is normal. When Energy Saver Switch (on some models) is set at SAVE,
fan cycles on and off with compressor.
●
Excess water may overflow in extremely hot and humid weather.
This is normal.
Air conditioner must be installed with the specified tilt to the outside for
proper water disposal.
●
This is normal for a short period in areas with 1
humidity; normal for a
longer period in very humid areas. Moisture removed from indoor air drains to
rear of cabinet where it is picked up by a fan ring and thrown against the
outdoor coil.
