Possible Causes
Airflow is restricted.
The temp control may
not be set correctly.
The air filter is dirty.
The room may have been
hot.
Cold air is escaping.
Cooling coils have iced
up.
Ice blocks the air flow and
stops the air conditioner
from cooling the room.
Excessively hot and humid
weather.
The air conditioner is not
tilted to the outside.
Moisture is removed from
indoor air and drains into
rear of a cabinet where a
fan blows it against the
outdoor condenser coil.
You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown
against the condenser on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design
feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.
You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.
Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The
water may overflow and drip from the outdoor side of the unit.
The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
.
