THE PROBLEM SOLVER
POSSIBLE CAUSE
It may not be plugged in. The plug may have been bumped loose by a vacuum
cleaner or furniture.
. If it is plugged in, the fuse could have blown or the circuit breaker may
have tripped.
Curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front of air conditioner will restrict
the air flow.
s The Thermostat Control may not be set high enough. Turn knob to a higher
number. The highest setting should provide maximum cooling.
The air filter is dirty. It should be cleaned at least every 30 days.
See the Care and Cleaning section.
The room may have been very hot when the air conditioner was first turned on.
Allow time for it to cool down.
Cold air may be escaping through open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.
The cooling coils have iced up. See Freezing Up below.
Ice blocks the air flow and stops the unit from cooling the room. This is a
temporary condition that most often occurs at night when the outside air is cool.
To correct, set the Selector Switch at HI FAN or HI COOL with the Thermostat
at 1
or 2.
