If You Need Service Or Assistance
We suggest you follow
these steps:
1. Before calling for assistance . . .
Performance
problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yoursetf without tools
of any kind.
Air conditioner won't run:
l
Is unit plugged into a live circuit with proper
vottage?
l
Is switch turned on?
l
Is Thermostat Control set correctly?
l
Have you checked your home's main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l
Has the time-delay fuse blown or circuit breaker
tripped?
l
Has the local power failed?
Unit blows fuses or trlps circuit breaker:
l
Are timedelay fuses being used?
l
Is an extension cord being used?
(Do not use
an extension cord to run your alr wndl-
tioner.)
l
Are you waiting 3 minutes after turning cooling
circuit off before trying to
restart
unit?
Unit turns on and off, or does not cool room:
l

l
Are coils clean (both evaporator [inside] and
condenser [outside])?
l
Is there excessive moisture or heat (open
vessel cooking, showers, etc.)?
l

l
Try setting Thermostat Control to a cooler
setting.
Operating sounds:
When your rwm air conditioner
is operatlng
normally,
you will hear sounds such as:
l
Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing
a "pinging" or "clicking" sound. Water droplets
help to cool the condenser.
l
Air movement from the fan, especially on high
fan speed setting.
l
Clicks from the cooling cycle.
Sounds also may be caused by house construc-
tion-such as vibration of the unit due to wall
construction or unsteady window mounting area.
