operation.
• If operation stops due to a power failure, the [restart-preventing circuit at power failure] operates and disables unit operation even after power restoration. In this case, press
the [ON/OFF] button again and start operation.
If malfunctions persist after you have checked the above, turn the power supply OFF and contact your dealer with information about the product name, the nature of the
malfunction, etc. If the display of "[check]" and (4 digit) check code flashes, tell the dealer contents of the display (check code). Never attempt to repair by yourself.
The following symptoms are not air conditioner failures:
• The air blown out from the air conditioner can sometimes give off odors. This is due to cigarette smoke contained in the air of the room, the smell of cosmetics, the walls, fur-
niture, etc., absorbed in the air conditioner.
• A hissing noise can be heard immediately after the air conditioner is started or stopped. This is the sound of the refrigeration flowing inside the air conditioner. This is nor-
mal.
• The air conditioner sometimes snaps or clicks at the beginning or end of cooling/heating operation. This is the sound of friction on the front panel and other sections due to
expansion and contraction caused by temperature change. This is normal.
6
Cause
Power failure
The power supply is turned OFF.
The fuse in the power supply is gone.
The earth leakage breaker is gone.
Improper temperature adjustment
The filter is filled with dust and dirt.
There are some obstacles at the air inlet and outlet of
the indoor and outdoor units.
Windows and doors are open.
The restart-preventing circuit is in operation for 3 min-
utes.
Indoor unit operation was restarted during the heating
and defrosting operation.
There are some obstacles at the air inlet and outlet of
the indoor and outdoor units.
The filter is filled with dust and dirt.
When other indoor units are engaged in cooling oper-
ation, the machine stops after running a drain-up
mechanism for 3 minutes when air-cooling operation
is stopped.
When other indoor units are engaged in cooling oper-
ation, drained water is brought in. If the drain water is
collected, the drain-up mechanism initiates a draining
operation.
When other indoor units are engaged in heating oper-
ation, the control valves are opened and closed from
time to time to maintain the stability of the system.
Troubleshooting
Press the [ON/OFF] button after power restoration.
Turn the power supply ON.
Replace fuse.
Put in the earth leakage breaker.
After checking the set temperature and inlet temperature
on the liquid crystal display, refer to [Room temperature
adjustment], and operate the adjustment button.
Clean up the filter.
(Refer to [Caring for the machine].)
Remove.
Close.
Wait for a while.
(To protect the compressor, a 3-minute restart-preventing
circuit is built into the indoor unit. Therefore, there are
occasions sometimes when the compressor does not
start running immediately. There are cases when it does
not run for as long as 3 minutes.)
Wait for a while.
(Heating operation starts after ending defrosting opera-
tion.)
Rerun after removal
Rerun after cleaning the filter. (Refer to [Caring for the
machine].)
Wait for 3 minutes.
It soon stops. (If the noise occurs more than 2-3 times in
an hour, ask for repair service.)
It soon stops. (If the room temperature rises uncomforta-
bly high in a small room, stop operation.)
