7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fan does not turn on. | No power, incorrect mode setting, or temperature not met. | Check if the unit is plugged in and the outlet is functional. Verify the correct heat/cool mode is selected and the set point dial is adjusted correctly. Ensure the HVAC system is actively running and providing air at the set temperature. |
| Fan runs continuously. | Set point dial too sensitive or constant airflow. | Adjust the set point dial to a less sensitive setting. Ensure the HVAC system is cycling off as expected. |
| Fan is noisy. | Dust buildup or obstruction. | Unplug the unit and clean the fan blades and grille. Ensure no objects are obstructing the fan. |
| Insufficient airflow boost. | Fan speed too low or ductwork issues. | Increase the fan speed setting. Check for obstructions in the ductwork or ensure the main HVAC system is functioning optimally. |
