TROUBLESHOOTING

Warning:

Do not attempt to repair the air conditioner yourself. Incorrect repairs may cause electrocution or fire,

so please contact the Whirlpool Authorized Service Center nearest you for professional repairs.

The following checks may save your time and costs.

Malfunction Cause

Air conditioner does not start

immediatly after a stop.

•

To protect the air conditioner when started after a stop, the

microcomputer control delays for 3 minutes before allowing the

air conditioner to start.

An unpleasant odor is perceived

at startup

•

The air conditioner itself is odorless. Any odor is accumulated

from the environment. The solution is to clean the air filter (see

page 42).

•

If there is still any problem, the air conditioner should be cleaned

(Please contact the Whirlpool Authorized Service Center).

You may hear a “gurgling” noise

when the air conditioner is on

•

When the air conditioner is started, or the compressor starts or

stops while running, or the air conditioner is stopped, you may

hear a gurgling noise that is the refrigerant flowing back and is not

a malfunction.

A thin fog may flow from the

outlet when the air conditioner is

running in cooling mode.

•

This may occur when the indoor temperature and humidity are

high. This is because the indoor air is cooled quickly.

•

After a short time, the fog will disappear as the indoor

temperature and humidity decrease

You may hear a slight crack when

the air conditioner is started or

stopped

•

This is the sound of friction caused by expansion of the front panel

or other parts due to the change of temperature
