  1. Conflicting operating mode of indoor unit. This can occur in a multi split system, when different units operate in different modes. To solve the problem, adjust operating mode accordingly.

Note: units set to cooling/dry/fan mode will be affected with a mode conflict as soon as one other unit in the system is set to heating (heating is the priority system mode).

Faults not indicated

If faults occur during operation that cannot be eliminated:

  • Call customer service about the fault, providing details of the device.

Table 44

Fault Possible cause
The output of the indoor unit is too low. Temperature is set too high or too low.
Air filter is soiled and must be cleaned.
Unfavourable ambient conditions for the indoor unit, e.g. the ventilation openings of the devices are obstructed, doors/windows in the room are open or the room contains powerful heat sources.
Low-noise operation is activated and prevents the full output from being used.
Indoor unit does not switch on. The indoor unit has a safety mechanism to prevent overloading. It may take 3 minutes, until the indoor unit can be restarted.
The batteries of the remote control are empty.
The timer is switched on.
Operating mode changes from Cooling or Heating to Fan Mode. The indoor unit changes operating mode to prevent the formation of frost. Once the temperature increases, the unit will start operating in the previously selected mode again.
The set temperature is reached provisionally, at which point the unit turns off the compressor. The unit will continue operating when the temperature fluctuates again.
A white mist is coming from the indoor unit. In humid regions, white mist may appear if there is a significant temperature difference between the indoor air and air-conditioned air.
White mist is emerging from the indoor unit and outdoor unit. If heating mode is activated directly after automatic defrosting, this can generate white mist due to the higher level of humidity.
There is noise coming from the indoor unit and outdoor unit. A swooshing noise may be heard inside the indoor unit if the position of the airflow grille is set back.
A quiet hissing noise is normal during operation. This is caused by the flow of refrigerant.
Creaks and squeaks may be heard, as the metal and plastic parts of the device expand or contract during heating/cooling.
The outdoor unit also emits a range of other noises during operation which is normal.
Dust is being discharged from the indoor unit or outdoor unit. Dust may accumulate in the devices if they are shut down for an extended period and not covered. This can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods of inactivity.
Unpleasant odour during operation. Unpleasant odours in the air may enter the devices and spread.
There may be mould on the air filter and it must therefore be cleaned.
The fan of the outdoor unit is not running continuously. Variable fan control is used to ensure optimum operation.
Operation is irregular or unpredictable or the indoor unit is not responding. The indoor unit may be affected by interference from mobile radio masts or external signal amplifiers.
  • Briefly disconnect the indoor unit from the power supply then restart it.
