Key Operational Points
Your cooler must be positioned in front of an open window or door if it is to operate effectively.
Diagram illustrating optimal placement for indoor use: the evaporative cooler is positioned in front of an open window. An arrow shows air entering the cooler, and another arrow shows cooled air exiting the cooler into the room. A second open window on the opposite side of the room is shown with an arrow indicating air exhausting from the room, facilitating cross-ventilation.
- Always ensure that there is another open window or door through which the air can exhaust from the room.
- Ensure the rigid media is kept clean throughout the use of your cooler.
- At the end of each day run your cooler on FAN ONLY for 30 minutes to dry out the rigid media.
- Prior to putting your cooler away for winter, always:
- a. Drain the tank and wipe clean.
- b. Clean the rigid media.
- c. Reassemble and run on FAN ONLY for 30 minutes to dry out the rigid media.
CAUTION: BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING DISCONNECT POWER SUPPLY

Trouble Shooting
| Problem | Cause/Remedy |
|---|---|
| 1. Cooler fails to work at all | 1.1 Check that the unit is plugged properly. 1.2 Check the POWER switch, push it to "ON". 1.3 The TIMER switch is "OFF", turn it to "ON". 1.4 Make sure cooler is not plugged into a tripped GFIC outlet. If so, reset GFCI or move to non GFCI outlet. |
| 2. Cooler does not pump | 2.1 Pump is not activated. Push the PUMP switch to "ON". 2.2 Water level is low. Fill with water and make sure pump is activated. 2.3 Be sure the pump and pump hose are clear of debris. 2.4 Pump may be defective. Replace pump. *** |
| 3a. Fan does not operate | 3.1 Check that unit is plugged in properly. 3.2 Check the POWER switch, push it to "ON". 3.3 If connected to a GFCI outlet, check if it is tripped. 3.4 Troubleshoot rotary switch.*** |
| 3b. Fan runs slow at start up | 3b.1 Replace motor capacitor. *** |
| 4. Louver does not operate | 4.1 Louver does not move. Put swing switch position to "ON". 4.2 Check Oscillator motor for proper placement and operation. |
| 5. Water leakage | 5.1 Check the cap of the drain assembly, make sure it tightened. 5.2 Inspect tank for cracks or breakage. 5.3 Make sure cooler is level. 5.4 Check the media pads for buildup. The scaling may be disrupting the flow of water over the pad frame. Change media if needed. 5.5 If water is coming out fan, check for leaks in water distribution hoses and/or leaks at hose connections to spreaders. 5.6 Be sure there is at least 4 inches of space for rear panel free from wall or other obstruction. This could make the side panels release water to airstream due to increased air velocity through the sides. 5.7 Spreaders may have scale buildup allowing water to pool and spill over into airstream---Clean spreaders. |
| 6. Float Valve | 6.1 If water levels are too high/low, adjust the wing nut on the valve. 6.2 If there is a leak, check for cracks. Purchase new valve at www.hessaireparts.com |
