6. Trouble Shooting
Having trouble?
Here is the solution. (Unit is operating normally.)
Air conditioner does not heat or cool well.
Ŷ
Clean
the
¿
lter. (Air
À
ow is reduced when the
¿
lter is dirty or clogged.)
Ŷ
Check the temperature adjustment and adjust the set temperature.
Ŷ
Make sure that there is plenty of space around the outdoor unit. Is the
indoor unit air intake or outlet blocked?
Ŷ
Has a door or window been left open?
When heating operation starts, warm air does not blow from the indoor
unit soon.
Ŷ
Warm air does not blow until the indoor unit has suf
¿
ciently warmed up.
During heating mode, the air conditioner stops before the set room tem-
perature is reached.
Ŷ
When the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is high, frost
may form on the outdoor unit. If this occurs, the outdoor unit performs a
defrosting operation. Normal operation should begin after approximately
10 minutes.
When the air
À
ow direction is changed, the vanes always move up and
down past the set position before
¿
nally stopping at the position.
Ŷ
When
the
air
À
ow direction is changed, the vanes move to the set posi-
tion after detecting the base position.
A
À
owing water sound or occasional hissing sound is heard.
Ŷ
These sounds can be heard when refrigerant is
À
owing in the air con-
ditioner or when the refrigerant
À
ow is changing.
A cracking or creaking sound is heard.
Ŷ
These sounds can be heard when parts rub against each due to expan-
sion and contraction from temperature changes.
The room has an unpleasant odor.
Ŷ
The indoor unit draws in air that contains gases produced from the walls,
carpeting, and furniture as well as odors trapped in clothing, and then
blows this air back into the room.
A white mist or vapor is emitted from the indoor unit.
Ŷ
If the indoor temperature and the humidity are high, this condition may
occur when operation starts.
Ŷ
During defrosting mode, cool air
À
ow may blow down and appear like a
mist.
Water or vapor is emitted from the outdoor unit.
Ŷ
During cooling mode, water may form and drip from the cool pipes and
joints.
Ŷ
During heating mode, water may form and drip from the heat exchanger.
Ŷ
During defrosting mode, water on the heat exchanger evaporates and
water vapor may be emitted.

An error code appears in the remote controller display.
Ŷ
The protection devices have operated to protect the air conditioner.
Ŷ
Do not attempt to repair this equipment by yourself.
Turn off the power switch immediately and consult your dealer. Be sure
to provide the dealer with the model name and information that appeared
in the remote controller display.
Draining water or motor rotation sound is heard.
Ŷ
When cooling operation stops, the drain pump operates and then stops.
Wait approximately 3 minutes.
The fan speed changes in spite of not changing the setting.
Ŷ
Not to blow out cold air at the beginning of heating operation, the air
conditioner automatically adjusts the fan speed gradually from lower to
the set speed. It also adjust its fan speed to protect the fan motor when
return air temperature or fan speed excessively rises.
