Troubleshooting
Before contacting customer support, refer to these common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| AC not turning on | No power, remote batteries dead, circuit breaker tripped. | Check power supply, replace remote batteries, reset circuit breaker. |
| Insufficient cooling | Dirty air filters, blocked outdoor unit, low refrigerant, incorrect mode. | Clean air filters, clear obstructions from outdoor unit, check mode settings. If low refrigerant, contact service. |
| Unusual noise | Loose parts, fan obstruction, compressor issue. | Check for loose parts or obstructions. If noise persists or is from compressor, contact service. |
| Water leakage from indoor unit | Blocked drain pipe, improper installation, frozen coil. | Clear drain pipe. If due to installation or frozen coil, contact service. |
The Self Diagnosis feature will display error codes on the unit's display if an issue is detected. Refer to the full owner's manual for a list of error codes and their meanings.
