Troubleshooting and error codes
| Fault | Possible Cause |
|---|---|
| Air conditioner does not operate at all | Possible power failure Is plug out Does power fuse Is timer set |
| Remote control does not work and does not display | If disturbed abnormally or operation modes changed too quickly sometimes this causes the controller to lose function. Please turn power off and on again If remote control displays are unclear, please change the batteries. |
| Unit not running straight away when I/O button selected | Sometimes the microprocessor acts in a way to protect the compressor. Please leave for 5-10 minutes. |
| Cooling and heating efficiency is not good | Temperature set suitably? Filters Dirty Inlets and outlets of outdoor unit blocked. Sleep function set Indoor fan speed set to low Open doors and windows |
| Air not immediately blown out at start of Heat mode | The unit is processing information and will only blow when sufficiently warm |
| Indoor unit fan stops for about ten minutes during heating | It is defrosting the outdoor unit coil. It should complete this process in about 10 minutes at most. It freezes when outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high. |
| Unit issues cracking sounds | These are friction sounds caused by expansion and contraction of the front panel of the unit resulting from temperature changes |
| You can hear the sound of running water | It may be the sound of expanding refrigerant inside the unit Sound of accumulated water dropping on the heat exchanger |
| Indoor unit issues "pooshâ sound and click. | Click sound is the fan and compressor when switching on and off. Poosh sound is refrigerant inside the conditioner |
| Outdoor unit leaks water | This is a normal process in the cycle |
