appliance is unresponsive
Poor cooling or heating
performance
The appliance starts and
stops frequently
• The appliance has a protection feature that prevents it from being turned
back on for 3 minutes after being turned off to avoid overloading
• Room temperature is lower than the set temperature. (Cooling mode)
• Room temperature is higher than the set temperature (Heat mode)
• Power failure
• A fuse is burned out
• Remote control batteries have burned out
• The appliance may change mode to prevent frost from forming on the
internal coils
• The set temperature has been reached, at which point the compressor
is turned off. The appliance will continue operating when the room
temperature fl uctuates from the set temperature
• In humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room
temperature and the set temperature can cause white mist
• When the appliance restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist
may be emitted due to moisture generated from the defrosting process
• A rushing air sound may occur when the louver resets its position
• A squeaking sound may occur after running the appliance in HEAT
mode due to the expansion and contraction of internal plastic parts
• A low hissing sound during operation is normal; this is caused by
refrigerant gas fl owing through the appliance
• The appliance may accumulate dust on the internal components during
long periods of non-use, which will be emitted when the appliance is
turned on
• The appliance may absorb odors from the surrounding environment,
(cooking smells, animal smells, cigarette smells, etc.) which will be
emitted during operation
• The fi lter has become clogged and should be cleaned
• During operation, the fan speed on the outdoor appliance is controlled
to optimize product effi ciency
• Interference from cell phone towers and remote boosters may cause the
appliance to malfunction. To reset the appliance: disconnect the power
then reconnect and press the power button to restart operation
• Temperature setting is higher or lower than the ambient room
temperature
• The outdoor temperature is extremely high or low
• The air fi lter is clogged
• The air inlet or outlet is blocked
• Doors and windows are open
• Low refrigerant due to leak or long-term use
