TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLE
System does not restart.
Indoor unit emits unpleasant odor
when started
You hear a“water flowing”sound.
A thin fog or vapor coming out
of the indoor unit when system is
running.
You hear a slight cracking sound
when the system stops or starts.
The system will not run.
The unit is not heating or cooling
adequately.
Water leakage from the
outdoor unit.
CAUSE/SOLUTION
Cause: The system has a built-in three-minute delay to prevent short and/or rapid
cycling of the compressor.
Solution: Wait three minutes for the protection delay to expire.
Cause: Typically unpleasant odors are the result of mold or mildew forming on
the coil surfaces or the air filter.
Solution: Wash indoor air filter in warm water with mild cleaner. If odors persist,
contact a qualified service professional to clean the coil surfaces.
Cause: It is normal for the system to make“water flowing”or “gurgling”sounds
from refrigerant pressures equalizing when the compressor starts and stops
Solution: The noises should discontinue as the refrigerant system equalizes after
two or three minutes.
Cause: It is normal for the system to emit a slight fog or water vapor when
cooling extremely humid warm air.
Solution: The fog or water vapor will disappear as the system cools and
dehumidifies the room space.
Cause: It is normal for the system to make “slight cracking” sounds from parts
expanding and contracting during system starts and stops.
Solution: he noises will discontinue as temperature equalizes after 2 or 3 minutes.
Cause: There are a number of situations that will prevent the system from running.
Solution: Check for the following:
• Circuit breaker is “tripped” or “turned off.”
• Power button of remote is not turned on.
• Batteries in the remote controller are low.
• Remote controller is in sleep mode or timer mode.
• Otherwise, contact a qualified service professional for assistance.
Cause: There are a number of reasons for inadequate cooling or heating.
Solution: Check the following:
• Remove obstructions blocking airflow into the room.
• Clean dirty or blocked air filter that is restricting airflow into the system.
• Seal around door or windows to prevent air infiltration into the room.
• Relocate or remove heat sources from the room.
Cause: It is normal for the outdoor unit to generate condensate water in the
reverse cycle heating and defrost mode.
Solution: This is normal. No action is required.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLE
Water leaking from the indoor
unit into the room.
Wireless remote controller
does not work.
The unit will not deliver air.
Moisture or condensation
on the discharge air louvers
or outlet vents.
CAUSE/SOLUTION
Cause: While it is normal for the system to generate condensate water in
cooling mode, it is designed to drain this water via a condensate drain system
Solution: If water is leaking into the room, it may indicate one of the following.
• The indoor unit is not level right to left. Level indoor unit.
• The condensate drain pipe is restricted or plugged. All restrictions must
be removed to allow continuous drainage by gravity.
• If problem persists, contact a qualified service professional for assistance.
Cause: There are a number of possible reasons
Solution: Check the following:
• The batteries might be low. Change the batteries.
• The remote controller must be within 25 ft. (7.6 m) with no obstructions
of the indoor unit. If remote controller needs to be replaced, contact a
qualified service professional for assistance. In the meantime, use the
wired controller to operate the system.
Cause: There are a number of system functions that will prevent air flow.
Solution: Check for the following:
• In heating mode, the indoor fan may not start for three minutes if the
room temperature is very low. This is to prevent blowing cold air.
• In heat mode, if the outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high,
the system may need to defrost for up to 12 minutes before beginning
a heating cycle.
• In dry mode, the indoor fan may stop for up to three minutes during the
compressor off delay.
• Otherwise, you should contact a qualified service professional for assistance.
Cause: It is normal for the system to develop condensation or moisture on the
discharge air louvers when cooling warm humid air for a long period of time.
Solution: The condensation or moisture will disappear as the system cools and
dehumidifies the room space.
Stop operation and call for service in the following circumstances:
• You hear a harsh or unusual sound during operation.
• Water is leaking in the room.
• You notice a burning smell or see smoke.
• Circuit breaker trips frequently, or unit stops abnormally often.
