Troubleshooting and error codes

Problem	Possible Causes	What To Do

	Power failure.	The unit will automatically restart in the settings last used after the power is restored.
	The current interrupter device is tripped.	Press the RESET button located on the power cord plug. If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.

Air conditioner freezing up	Cooling coils have iced up. Ice blocks the air flow and stops the air conditioner from cooling the room.	On models with control knobs, set the mode control at High Fan or High Cool with the Temp at 1 or 2. On models with touch pads, set the controls at High Fan or High Cool and set the thermostat to a higher temperature.
