■
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 heatproducing
appliances during the hottest part of the day.
■
The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a
location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds,
furniture, etc.
■
The outside temperature is below 61°F (16°C). Do not try to
operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the
outside temperature is below 61°F (16°C).
■
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 control is not at a cool enough setting.
Adjust the TEMP/TIME control to a cooler setting by
pressing the minus button to reduce the temperature. Set the
Fan Speed control to the highest setting.
■
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
heatproducing appliances are in use in the room.
Use
exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use
heatproducing 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.
■
The air conditioner is not properly leveled. The air conditioner
should slope slightly downward toward the outside. Level the
air conditioner to provide a downward slope toward the
outside to ensure proper drainage. See the Installation
Instructions.
NOTE:
Do not drill a hole into the bottom of the metal base
and condensate pan.
Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not
cool room in cooling mode
Air conditioner seems to run too much
