(Continued)
THE AIR CONDITIONER
RUNS TOO MUCH
Check if ...
Then ...
Energy Saver is chosen.
Inside blower continues operating
for one minute to use as much cooling that is
available
in the evaporator.
Current Unit replaced
an older unit.
Newer, higher efficiency Air Conditioner
may run longer to cool the room. Total
energy consumption is less due to higher efficiency.
BTU size is too small.
A higher capacity unit may be required depending
on the size of the room being
cooled. (Page 9)
WATER DRIPPING FROM AiR CONDITIONER
- INSIDE ROOM
Check if ...
Then ...
Unit is not proper y installed.
Unit should be mounted on a 1/4" downward
slope to the outside (1/2 bubble on
a carpenter's
level) to provide proper
drainage.
Reposition or shim cabinet as
necessary. DO NOT drill drain pan.
WATER DRiPPiNG
FROM AiR CONDiTiONER
- OUTSIDE ROOM
Check if ...
Then ...
Room is hot and humid.
Normal operation
during hot and humid days.
THE REMOTE WiLL NOT OPERATE AiR CONDiTiONER
Check if ...
Then ...
Batteries are not installed properly.
Verify batteries are installed properly.
(Page 5)
The remote is pointed at the unit.
The remote may not work properly
when used at extreme angles to the front of
the unit.
TYPICAL AIR CONDiTiONER
SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Check if ...
Then ...
High pitched whine or pulsating noise that cycles on and off.
Compressor - Normal noise due to modern high efficiency compressors. (Page 1 1)
Rushing air sound.
Fan/Motor
- Normal noise of higher efficiency fans pushing air further into the
room. (Page 1 1)
Pinging or swishing sounds.
Condenser - Normal noise of water hitting the condenser to increase energy
efficiency. (Page 11 )
Gurgling
or hissing sounds.
Evaporator
- Normal noise of refrigerant
passing through evaporation.
(Page 1 1 )
Beeping.
Electronic Control - Normal noise when electronic control settings are changed.
Vibration.
Unit Vibration
- Due to poor wall or window construction or incorrect installation.
(Page 1 1 )
Normal
Sounds
Sound of Rushing Air
At the front of the unit,
you may hear the sound
of rushing air being
moved
by the fan.
High Pitched Whine
Today's
high efficiency
compressors
may have a
high pitched
whine during
the cooling
cycle.
Vibration
Unit may vibrate
and make
noise because of poor wall
or window
construction
or
incorrect installation.
Gurgle/Hiss
"Gurgling
or hissing" noise may
be heard due to refrigerant
passing
through evaporator
during
normal
operation.
Pinging or Swishing
Droplets
of water
hitting
__
condenser
during
normal
operation
may cause
"pinging
or swishing"
sounds.
