The following symptoms do not indicate malfunction.
Symptom
Cause
POWER indicator blinks before the unit is
switched on.
• This is the preliminary step to prepare for the TIMER
operation after it has been set.
When Timer is set ON, the unit may start earlier (up to 15
minutes) before the actual set time to achieve the desired
temperature on time.
TIMER indicator is always ON.
• When Timer has been set, the Timer setting repeats daily.
Operation is delayed a few minutes after
restarting.
• The delay is a protection to the unit’s compressor.
Indoor fan stops occasionally during automatic fan
speed setting.
• This is to help remove the surrounding odour.
The room has a peculiar odour.
• This may be due to damp smell emitted by the wall, carpet,
furniture or clothing.
Cracking sound during operation.
• Changes in temperature caused the unit to expand and
contract.
Water flowing sound during operation.
• Refrigerant flow inside the unit.
Mist emerges from indoor unit.
• During cooling operation, the discharged cold air may
condense to water vapour.
Outdoor unit emits water or steam.
• During cooling operation, condensation occurs on cold
pipes and the condensed water may drip from the outdoor
unit.
Discoloration of some plastic parts.
• Discoloration is subjected to the types of materials used in
plastic parts. It is accelerated when exposed to heat, sun
light, UV light or environmental factors.
Louder noise at outdoor unit during early
operation of JETSTREAM.
• The fan rotate at higher speed to boost cooling performance
during initial operation.
Check the following before calling for servicing.
