8. Troubleshooting
Before contacting customer support, please refer to the following table for common issues and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on | No power supply Power cord not properly connected | Check if the unit is plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the power cord is securely connected. |
| No cool air / Weak cooling | Water tank is empty Cooling pads are dry Room humidity is too high Cooling pads are dirty | Fill the water tank. Ensure the pump is operating and water is flowing over the pads. Evaporative coolers are less effective in high humidity. Consider using fan-only mode. Clean the cooling pads as per maintenance instructions. |
| Unusual noise | Unit is not on a level surface Foreign object in fan Water pump issue | Place the unit on a stable, level surface. Unplug and check for obstructions in the air inlet/outlet. Remove carefully. Check water level. If noise persists, contact support. |
| Water leakage | Water tank overfilled Drain plug not secured | Do not fill water above the 'MAX' line. Ensure the bottom drain plug is tightly closed. |
