Troubleshooting

Check the points described below before requesting repair.

Symptom Cause
It is not a malfunction. Outdoor unit

comes out

•  Sometimes the noise of air leaking is heard.

•  A noise is heard when the power is turned on.

| •  The fan of the outdoor unit is automatically stopped and defrosting is performed.

•  The solenoid valve works when defrosting starts or stops.

•  The outdoor unit is preparing for running.

Indoor unit| •  Sometimes a swishing is heard.

•  A clacking sound is heard.

•  Discharged air smells unusual.

| •  When the unit starts running, during operation, or immediately after the unit stops running, a sound such as water flowing may be heard,

or the operation sound may become louder for a couple of minutes immediately after the unit starts running. This is the sound of the

refrigerant flowing or the dehumidifier draining.

•  This is a sound generated when the heat exchanger or other part expands and contracts slightly due to temperature change.

•  Various smells from the walls, carpet, clothes, cigarettes, cosmetics or other things adhere to the air conditioner.

•  The unit does not run.| •  Has a blackout occurred?

•  Has the circuit breaker blown?

•  Has the protective device been activated? (The operation indicator and the remote controller are blinking.)

Check again.| The room does not cool down.| •  Is the air intake or discharge of the outdoor unit clogged?

•  Is a door or window open?

•  Is the air filter clogged with dust?

•  Is the air volume set to “LOW”? Or is the operation mode set to “FAN”?

•  Is the setup temperature appropriate?

If there is something unusual even after checking the above, stop running the unit, turn off the circuit breaker, and inform the dealer where you purchased the product of the product number and symptom. Do not attempt to repair the unit by yourself as doing so is dangerous. If the check indicator (e.g. ) is displayed on the remote controller LCD, inform the dealer of its content as well. If any of the following occur, stop running the unit immediately, turn off the circuit breaker, and contact the dealer where you purchased the product.

Confirmation and check

  • If there is something unusual even after checking the above, stop running the unit, turn off the circuit breaker, and inform the dealer where you purchased the product of the product number and symptom.
  • Do not attempt to repair the unit by yourself as doing so is dangerous.
  • If the check indicator ( etc. ) is displayed on the wired remote controller LCD, inform the dealer of its content as well.
  • If the air conditioner fails, the timer-off indication will alternately display the check code and the number of faulted indoor units.

Troubleshooting history and confirmation

  • If the air conditioner fails, you can view the troubleshooting history by following the steps below.
  • (The troubleshooting history can record at most 4 records.)
  • The troubleshooting history can be viewed when the air conditioner is on or off.
  • If you view the troubleshooting history in the timer-off operation, the timer-off will be cancelled.

Operations and performance

  • Check before running
    • Check whether the earth wire is cut or disconnected.
    • Check whether the air filter is installed.
    • Turn on the circuit breaker 12 hours or more before starting operation.
  • 3 minutes protection function
    • 3-minutes protection function prevents the air conditioner from starting for an initial 3 minutes after the main power switch/circuit breaker is turned on to restart the air conditioner.
  • Power failure
    • Power failure during operation will stop the unit completely.
    • To restart the operation, push the ON/OFF button on the remote controller.
    • Lightning or a wireless car telephone operating nearby may cause the unit to malfunction. Turn offthe main power switch or circuit breaker and then turn them on again. Push the ON/OFF button on the remote controller to restart.
  • Defrosting operation
    • If the outdoor unit is frosted during the heating operation, defrosting starts automatically (for approximately 2 to 10 minutes) to maintain the heating capacity.
    • The fans in both indoor and outdoor units will stop during the defrosting operation.
    • During the defrosting operation, the defrosted water will be drained from the bottom plate of the outdoor unit.
  • Heating capacity
    • In the heating operation, the heat is absorbed from the outside and brought into the room. This way of heating is called a heat pump system.
    • When the outside temperature is too low, it is recommended to use another heating apparatus in combination with the air conditioner.
  • Protective device
    • Stops operation when the air conditioner is overloaded.
    • If the protective device is activated, the unit stops running, and the operation indicator and check indicator on the remote controller blink.
  • If the protective device is activated
    • Turn off the circuit breaker and perform a checkup.
    • Continued running may cause a malfunction.
    • Check whether the air filter is installed. If not, the heat exchanger may be clogged with dust and water leakage may occur.
  • During cooling
    • The air intake or discharge of the outdoor unit is clogged.
    • Strong wind continuously blows against the outlet of the outdoor unit.
  • During heating
    • The air filter is clogged with a large amount of dust.
    • The air intake or discharge of the indoor unit is clogged.
  • Do not turn off the circuit breaker
    • During the air-conditioning season, leave the circuit breaker turned on, and use the ON/OFF key on the remote controller.
  • Attention to snowfall and freeze on the outdoor unit
    • In snowy areas, the air intake and air discharge of the outdoor unit are often covered with snow or frozen up. If snow or freeze on the outdoor unit is left as it is, it may cause machine failure or poor warming.
    • In cold areas, pay attention to the drain hose so that it perfectly drains water without water remaining inside for freeze prevention. If water freezes in the drain hose or inside the outdoor unit, it may cause machine failure or poor warming.
  • Air conditioner operating conditions
    • For proper performance, operate the air conditioner under the following temperature conditions:
      Cooling operation| Outdoor temperature: –15°C to 46°C (Dry bulb temp.)
      ---|---
      Room temperature: 21°C to 32°C (Dry bulb temp.), 15°C to 24°C (Wet bulb temp.)
      [CAUTION] **** Room relative humidity – less than 80%. If the air conditioner operates over this figure, the surface of the air conditioner may cause dewing.
      Heating operation| Outdoor temperature: –15°C to 15°C (Wet bulb temp.)
      Room temperature: 15°C to 28°C (Dry bulb temp.)
    • If air conditioner is used outside of the above conditions, safety protection may work.
