TROUBLESHOOTING

You can solve many common air conditioner problems easily,

saving you the cost of a service call. Try the suggestions below to

see whether you can solve your problem without outside help.

Air conditioner will not operate.

■ The power supply cord is unplugged. Firmly plug the power

supply cord into a properly grounded 3 prong outlet with

proper voltage. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■ A household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has

tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Make

sure the air conditioner is plugged into a properly grounded

3 prong outlet. See “Electrical Requirements.”

■ The Power button has not been pressed. Press the

POWER button.

■ The local power has failed. Wait for power to be restored.

Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers.

■ Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit.

Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.

■ Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity

is being used. Replace with a time-delay fuse or circuit

breaker of the correct capacity. See “Electrical

Requirements.”

■ An extension cord is being used. Do not use an extension

cord with this or any other appliance.

■ You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after

turning off the unit. Wait at least 3 minutes after turning off

the unit before trying to restart the air conditioner.

Air conditioner seems to run too much.

■ The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The

use of more efficient components may cause the air

conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total

energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do

not emit the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to

from older units, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling

capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and

capacity rating (in BTUs/hr.) marked on the air conditioner.

■ The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-

producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust

vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-

producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A

higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending

on the size of the room being cooled.

Air conditioner cycles on and off too much.

■ The MODE is set to POWER SAVER. Use Power Saver only

when you are away from home or asleep. Use COOL and a

higher fan setting for your best comfort.

■ The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room.

Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner.

Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple

rooms.

■ The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.

■ There is excessive heat or moisture (open container

cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust

heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use heat-

producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.

■ The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a

location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds,

furniture, etc.

■ The outside temperature is below 66°F (19°C). Do not try to

operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the

outside temperature is below 66°F (19°C).

■ The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is

extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool

off a very hot room.

■ Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all

windows and doors.

■ The Air Exchanger is set to OPEN (on some models). Set

the Exhaust control to CLOSED for maximum cooling and/or

heating.

■ Temperature control is not at a cool enough setting.

Adjust the TEMPERATURE control to a cooler setting. Press

the TEMP minus pad to reduce the temperature by 1º until it

reaches 66ºF (19ºC). Set the FAN SPEED control to TURBO.

■ The air conditioner is installed on the sunny side of your

house. Install your air conditioner in a more shaded window.

Water drips from cabinet into your house.

■ The air conditioner is not properly leveled. The air

conditioner should slope slightly downward toward the

outside. Tilt the air conditioner to a downward slope to the

outside to ensure proper drainage. See the Installation

Instructions. Reposition or shim the cabinet as necessary.

NOTE: Do not drill a hole in the bottom of the metal base and

condensate pan.

Air conditioner cooling, but room is too warm - Ice

forming on cooling coil behind intake grille.

■ The outside temperature is below 66°F (19°C). Do not try

to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the

outside temperature is below 66°F (19°C).

■ The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
