Possible Causes
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 o .
The unit may change its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit.
Once the temperature increases, the unit will start operating in the
previously selected mode again.
The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns o the
compressor. The unit will continue operating when the temperature
fluctuates again.
In humid regions, a large temperature di erence 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.
A low hissing sound may occur during operation. This is normal and is cau-
sed by refrigerant gas flowing through both the indoor and outdoor units.
A low hissing sound may be heard 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.
