If the WiFi light on the unit flashes, it indicates a lost connection or that the unit is not properly connected to your network. Use the SmartHQ app to re-establish or set up the connection.
Noise and Vibration
If excessive noise or vibration occurs, especially when the compressor is active, check the installation for secure fit. For units installed in homes with vinyl siding or stucco, consider placing a rubber dampener (e.g., a folded bicycle tire tube) under the adjustable stabilizer screws where the clamp meets the exterior wall. This can help absorb vibration.
Cooling Performance Issues
Ensure the air filter is clean, windows are properly sealed, and the unit is set to an appropriate cooling mode and temperature. Verify that there are no obstructions to the airflow around the unit.
