Solution
Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed
completely into the outlet.
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and
replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
- The unit will automatically restart when power
is restored.
- There is a protective time delay (approx.
3 minutes) to prevent tripping of the
compressor overload. For this reason, the unit
may not start normal cooling for 3 minutes
after it is turned back on.
- Press the RESET button located on the power
cord plug.
- If the RESET button will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the air conditioner and
contact a qualified service technician.
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or
furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner.
Lower the set thermostat temperature.
Clean the filter. Refer to
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE.
Please allow time for the room to cool down
after turning on the air conditioner.
Check for open furnace registers and cold air
returns.
Switch to high fan speed and set the thermostat
to a higher temperature.
Temperature sensor behind the air filter is
touching the coil.
Try to move it so it does not contact the cold coil.
Switch to high fan speed and set the thermostat
to a higher temperature.
