ProblemPossible Cause and Solution
The unit does not restart immediately after you have stopped it.Restart is blocked for 3 minutes after you have stopped the operation to protect the unit.
Airflow is not blown out when starting the HEATING operation.Airflow has stopped to prevent blowing out of cold air until the indoor heat exchanger has warmed up. (2 to 5 min.) (HOT KEEP program)
Airflow is not blown out for 5 to 15 min. or blown out not warm wind for a moment at HEATING operation.When outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high, the unit sometimes performs defrosting automatically. Please wait. During defrosting, water or steam may escape from the outdoor unit.
Airflow is not blown out when starting the DRY operation.The indoor fan may stop to prevent re-evaporation of dehumified moisture and to save energy.
Some steam escapes during COOL operation.This may occur if the room's temperature and humidity are very high. It disappears as soon as the temperature and humidity decrease.
There is a slight smell.Air blown out during operation may smell. This is caused by tobacco or cosmetics adhering to the unit.
You hear a slight gurgling sound.This is caused by refrigerating liquid moving within the unit.
You hear a slight cracking sound.This is caused by heat expansion or contraction.
You hear a hissing or clicking sound.This is caused by the operation of the refrigerant control valves or electric components.
After a power cut, the unit does not restart even if power has been restored.If the auto restart function is not set, the unit will not restart automatically. Use the remote control to start the operation again.
Remote control signals are not received.Remote control signals may not be received if the signal receiver on the air-conditioner is exposed to direct sunlight or other bright light. If so, cut out the sunlight or reduce the other light.
Moisture may form on the air outlet grills.If the unit is operated for a long time in high humidity, moisture may form on the air outlet grills and start dripping.
Whistling noise is heard from the outdoor unit.The noise means that the revolution speed of the compressor is increasing or decreasing.
Fan will not stop immediately after unit operation was stopped.Indoor fan : Fan will not stop after 2 hours if set to CLEAN operation.
Outdoor fan: Fan will not stop about a 1 minute period in order to protect the unit.
RUN light stays on even though operation was stopped.The RUN light illuminates during CLEAN operation. Run light turns off when CLEAN operation ends.
Sometimes a "Shooooo" sound might come for a short time from the unit that is turned off.This is the sound when operation of another indoor unit is stopped.
