Table 9 — Common Issues
The unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading.
The unit cannot be restarted within three minutes of being turned off.
Cooling and Heating Models: If the Operation light and PRE-DEF (Pre-heating/Defrost)
indicators are illuminated, or the Operation light is illuminated and the LCD screen displays
"dF", the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit's anti-cold wind is activated to defrost
the unit.
The unit may change its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once the temperature
increases, the unit starts operating in the previously selected mode again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off the compressor. The
unit continues operating when the temperature fluctuates again.
In humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room's air and the conditioned
air can cause white mist.
When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted due to
moisture generated from the defrosting process.
A squeaking sound is heard when the system is OFF or in COOL mode. The noise is also
heard when the drain pump (optional) is in operation.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to expansion and
contraction of the unit's plastic parts.
Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas flowing
through both indoor and outdoor units.
Low hissing sound when the system starts, has just stopped running, or is defrosting: This
noise is normal and is caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
Squeaking sound: Normal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal parts caused by
temperature changes during operation can cause squeaking noises.
The unit will make different sounds based on its current operating mode.
The unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of non-use, which will be emitted when
the unit is turned on. This can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods of
inactivity.
The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as furniture, cooking, cigarettes, etc.)
which will be emitted during operations.
The unit's filters have become moldy and should be cleaned.
During operation, the fan speed is controlled to optimize product operation.
