Troubleshooting

You can solve many common air conditioner problems easily, saving you the cost of a service call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve your problem without outside help.

Air conditioner will not operate.
Check if ... The power supply cord is unplugged. A household fuse has blown or circuit breaker has tripped. The FAN CONTROL is turned to the off position. The local power has failed. Then ... Firmly plug the power supply cord into a live outlet with proper voltage. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Make sure the air conditioner is plugged into a properly grounded outlet as described in the Installation Instructions. Turn the FAN CONTROL to an active setting.

Wait for power to be restored.

Air conditioner blows fuses or trips circuit breakers.
Check if ... Too many appliances are being used on the same circuit. Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity is being used. An extension cord is being used. You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after turning FAN CONTROL off. Then ... Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.

Replace with a 15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the correct capacity. See �Electrical requirements� in the Installation Instructions for the correct capacity.

Do not use an extension cord with this or any other appliance. Wait at least 3 minutes after turning FAN CONTROL off before trying to restart the air conditioner.

Air conditioner seems to run too much.
Check if ... The current air conditioner replaced an older model. Then ... 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. 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.

The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room or heatproducing appliances are in use in the room.
