TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM / POSSIBLE CAUSES
THE AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL
• Is the power cable properly inserted into a functioning, grounded outlet?
• Is there a power failure such as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
• Is the ambient temperature lower than 61°F (16°C)? A safety device prevents the unit
from cooling the room to even lower temperatures.
INSUFFICIENT COOLING
• Is the unit temperature set properly?
• Is the air filter dirty?
• Are doors or windows open?
• Is the room directly exposed to sunlight or are there other heat sources in the room?
• Are there a large number of people in the room?
WATER BUILD-UP IN THE UNIT, SPLASHING NOISE
• This is not a problem. This self-evaporative unit is designed allow condensate to
build up in the rear of the unit during cooling and dry modes. The rear fan then runs
through the pool of water, splashing it upon the evaporator coils, helping to cool
them down. This makes the unit more efficient and eliminates the need to hook up a
drain hose.
THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT STARTS AND STOPS VERY FREQUENTLY.
• Verify the rating of your electrical system and outlets. You may need a qualified elec-
trician to troubleshoot and upgrade your electrical circuits if your air conditioner unit
exceeds the rated capacity.
FOG BLOWS OUT DURING COOLING
• In warm, high humidity environments this may naturally occur. Continued cooling
will remove excess humidity from the room and the fog will disappear.
THE UNIT EMITS A STRANGE SMELL
• This may be caused by residue from cooking and cigarette smoke, etc. that remain in
the air conditioning unit. Eliminated the source of the smell and clean the filter.
THE UNIT MAKES LOUD OR UNUSUAL NOISES AND VIBRATIONS
• Ensure that the unit is installed according to the installation instructions above.
THERE IS A "SQUEALING" NOISE
• The cycling of the refrigerant inside the unit can temporarily cause this noise.
THERE IS A "PATTING" NOISE
• This is often caused by heat expansion in the plastic parts.
