TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE/SOLUTION System does not restart. Cause: The system has a built-in three-minute delay to prevent short and/or rapid cycling of the compressor. Solution: Wait three minutes for the protection delay to expire. Indoor unit emits unpleasant odor Cause: Typically unpleasant odors are the result of mold or mildew forming on when started the coil surfaces or the air filter.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE/SOLUTION Water leakage from the Cause: It is normal for the outdoor unit to generate condensate water in the outdoor unit. reverse cycle heating and defrost mode. Solution: This is normal. No action is required. Cause: While it is normal for the system to generate condensate water in cooling Water leaking from the indoor mode, it is designed to drain this water via a condensate drain system to a safe location.
