Troubleshooting
Refer to the following chart if the air conditioner operates abnormally. This may save time and
unnecessary expense.
Problem Solution
The air conditioner
does not operate
immediately after it
has been restarted.
• Because of the protective mechanism, the appliance does not start
operating immediately to keep the unit from overloading. The air
conditioner will start in 3 minutes.
The air conditioner
does not work at
all.
• Check power status and then operate the air conditioner again.
• Check if the circuit breaker is switched off.
• Check if there is a power failure.
• Check your fuse. Make sure it is not blown out.
The temperature
does not change.
• Check if you selected Fan mode.
Press the Mode button on the remote control to select another mode.
The cool (warm)
air does not come
out of the air
conditioner.
• Check if the set temperature is higher (lower) than the current
temperature. Press the Temperature button on the remote control to
change the set temperature. Press the Temperature button to decrease
or increase the temperature.
• Check if the air filter is blocked by dirt. Clean the air filter every two
weeks.
• Check if the air conditioner has just been turned on. If so, wait 3
minutes. Cool air does not come out to protect the compressor of the
outdoor unit.
• Check if the air conditioner is installed in a place with a direct exposure
to sunlight. Hang curtains on windows to boost cooling efficiency.
• Check if the cover or any obstacle is not near the outdoor unit.
• Check if the refrigerant pipe is too long.
• Check if the air conditioner is only available in Cool mode.
• Check if the remote control is only available for cooling model.
The fan speed does
not change.
• Check if you selected Auto or Dry mode.
The air conditioner automatically adjusts the fan speed to Auto in Auto/
Dry mode.
Timer function does
not set.
• Check if you press the Power button on the remote control after you
have set the time.
Odors permeate in
the room during

through the compressor. Let the air conditioner operate in a selected
mode.
• When you press the Power button on the remote control, noise may be
heard from the drain pump inside the air conditioner.
Water is dripping
from the air flow
blades.
• Check if the air conditioner has been cooling for an extended period of
time with the air flow blades pointed downwards. Condensation may
generate due to the difference in temperature.
Remote control is
not working.
• Check if your batteries are depleted.
• Make sure batteries are correctly installed.
• Make sure nothing is blocking your remote control sensor.
• Check that there are strong lighting apparatus near the air conditioner.
Strong light which comes from fluorescent bulbs or neon signs may
interrupt the electric waves.
