7. Trouble Shooting
Having trouble?
Here is the solution. (Unit is operating normally.)
Air conditioner does not heat or cool well.
■
Clean the
fi
lter. (Air
fl
ow is reduced when the
fi
lter is dirty or clogged.)
■
Check the temperature adjustment and adjust the set temperature.
■
Make sure that there is plenty of space around the outdoor unit. Is the
indoor unit air intake or outlet blocked?
■
Has a door or window been left open?
When heating operation starts, warm air does not blow from the indoor
unit soon.
■
Warm air does not blow until the indoor unit has suf
fi
ciently warmed up.
During heating mode, the air conditioner stops before the set room tem-
perature is reached.
■
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 approxi-
mately 10 minutes.
Air
fl
ow direction changes during operation or air
fl
ow direction cannot be
set.
■
During cooling mode, the vanes automatically move to the horizontal
(down) position after 1 hour when the down (horizontal) air
fl
ow direc-
tion is selected. This is to prevent water from forming and dripping from
the vanes.
■
During heating mode, the vanes automatically move to the horizontal
air
fl
ow direction when the air
fl
ow temperature is low or during defrost-
ing mode.
When the air
fl
ow direction is changed, the vanes always move up and
down past the set position before
fi
nally stopping at the position.
■
When the air
fl
ow direction is changed, the vanes move to the set posi-
tion after detecting the base position.
A
fl
owing water sound or occasional hissing sound is heard.
■
These sounds can be heard when refrigerant is
fl
owing in the air condi-
tioner or when the refrigerant
fl
ow is changing.
A cracking or creaking sound is heard.
■
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.
■
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.
■
If the indoor temperature and the humidity are high, this condition may
occur when operation starts.
■
During defrosting mode, cool air
fl
ow may blow down and appear like a
mist.
Water or vapor is emitted from the outdoor unit.
■
During cooling mode, water may form and drip from the cool pipes and
joints.
■
During heating mode, water may form and drip from the heat exchang-
er.
■
During defrosting mode, water on the heat exchanger evaporates and
water vapor may be emitted.
