Why is there a red light on my BLATACY VOTO-RKY20(R)-N4-3 Portable Air Conditioner and why is the unit not turning on?

Based on the manual for the BLATACY VOTO-RKY20(R)-N4-3, a red light or a failure to turn on typically indicates one of the following issues:Water Tank Full: The most common reason for a unit not turning on while displaying an indicator light is that the internal water reservoir is full. Although this unit has a self-evaporation system, high humidity can overwhelm it. Solution: Drain the water from the unit using the provided water pipe via the drainage ports.Power Supply Issues: Ensure the unit is securely plugged into a 120V outlet. Check if a circuit breaker has tripped or if the plug itself needs to be reset (many AC plugs have 'Test' and 'Reset' buttons).Child Lock: This model features a Child Lock. If this is engaged, the unit may not respond to button presses. Check the display for a lock icon and consult your remote or app to disable it.Filter Alert: The unit provides alerts when the filter needs cleaning or replacement. While this usually doesn't prevent the unit from turning on, a severely clogged filter can cause the system to shut down for safety.If the unit still does not turn on after draining the water and checking the power, it is recommended to contact BLATACY customer service through the retailer where you purchased the unit.
