Frequently Asked Questions (13)

  • Why is my Whirlpool portable air conditioner not blowing cold air?

    If your air conditioner runs but does not cool, it could be due to the following reasons:

    • The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. You should clean the filter.
    • The air outlet is blocked. You should clear the air outlet.
    • The set temperature is too high. You should lower the set temperature.

    If the air conditioner seems to run too much, it could be because:

    • A door or window is open. Keep doors and windows closed.
    • The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-producing appliances are in use. Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. Portable air conditioners are designed as supplemental cooling to local areas within a room.

    If the air conditioner cycles on and off too much:

    • The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room. Check the cooling capabilities for your room.
    • The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
    • There is excessive heat or moisture in the room. Use a fan to exhaust heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
    • The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds, furniture, etc.

    For more information, see page 15 of the manual.
