Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Air Conditioner Does Not Start**
This issue can be caused by the wall plug being disconnected, a house fuse being blown, or the circuit breaker being tripped. Ensuring the plug is firmly connected and checking/resetting the circuit breaker can resolve this -
**Air from Unit Does Not Feel Cold Enough**
This problem may occur if the room temperature is below the cooling threshold, the temperature sensor is mispositioned, or there are obstructions blocking airflow -
**Frequent Rapid On/Off Cycling**
This can be due to a dirty or restricted air filter, incorrect temperature settings, or improper positioning of the air directional louvers -
**Noise During Unit Operation**
Normal operation sounds like vibrational noise due to poor installation or construction issues, high-pitched chatter from high-efficiency compressors, and trickling sounds from water hitting the condenser may occur -
**Water Dripping Inside or Outside**
Water might drip inside due to improper installation, where it should be tilted slightly outward for drainage. Water dripping outside indicates normal moisture removal in humid conditions
