Common Issues

The following problems are not a malfunction and in most situations will not require repairs.

Issue
Unit does not turn on when pressing ON/OFF button

Possible Causes
The Unit has a 3-minute protection feature that prevents the unit from overloading. The unit cannot be restarted within three minutes of being turned off.
Cooling and Heating Models: If the Operation light and PRE-DEF (Pre-heating/ Defrost) indicators are lit up, or the Operation light is lit up and the LCD screen display “dF”, the outdoor temperature is too cold and the unit’s anti- cold wind is activated in order to defrost the unit.

The unit changes from COOL mode to FAN mode
The indoor unit emits white mist Both the indoor and outdoor units emit white mist
The indoor unit makes noises
Both the indoor unit and outdoor unit make noises

The unit may change its setting to prevent frost from forming on the unit. Once the temperature increases, the unit will start operating in the previously selected mode again. The set temperature has been reached, at which point the unit turns off the compressor. The unit will continue operating when the temperature fluctuates again.
In humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room’s air and the conditioned air can cause white mist.
When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be emitted due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
A squeaking sound is heard when the system is OFF or in COOL mode. The noise is also heard when the drain pump (optional) is in operation.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to expansion and contraction of the unit’s plastic parts.
Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and is caused by refrigerant gas flowing through both indoor and outdoor units.
Low hissing sound when the system starts, has just stopped running, or is defrosting: This noise is normal and is caused by the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
Squeaking sound: Normal expansion and contraction of plastic and metal parts caused by temperature changes during operation can cause squeaking noises.

Page 15

Troubleshooting

Issue The outdoor unit makes noises Dust is emitted from either the indoor or outdoor unit
The unit emits a bad odor
The fan of the outdoor unit does not operate

Possible Causes
The unit will make different sounds based on its current operating mode.
The unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of non-use, which will be emitted when the unit is turned on. This can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods of inactivity. The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as furniture, cooking, cigarettes, etc.) which will be emitted during operations. The unit’s filters have become moldy and should be cleaned.
During operation, the fan speed is controlled to optimize product operation.

NOTE: If problem persists, contact a local dealer or your nearest customer service center. Provide them with a detailed description of the unit malfunction as well as your model number.
