Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not cool
■The Mode is set to Power Saver (on some models). Use Power Saver only when you are asleep or away from home, since the fan does not circulate the room air continuously.
Use Low, High or Turbo for your best comfort.
■The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room. Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner. Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.
■The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
■The inside evaporator and outside condenser coils are dirty or obstructed by debris. See “Annual Maintenance.”
■There is excessive heat or moisture (open container cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use heat- producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
■The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds, furniture, etc.
■The outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C).
■The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool off a very hot room.
■Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all windows and doors.
■The Exhaust control is set to OPEN (on some models). Push the Exhaust control CLOSED for maximum cooling.
■Depending on model, the Temp/Time or Temperature control is not at a cool enough setting. Adjust the TEMP/ TIME control to a cooler setting by pressing the minus button to reduce the temperature, or adjust the Temperature control to a cooler setting by turning the knob clockwise. Set the Fan Speed control to Turbo or Turbo Cool.
Temperature on display does not match room temperature
■When the compressor and fan motor turn off during Power Saver mode, or after you turn off the unit, a lower temperature reading than the actual room temperature may be displayed for a short period of time. This lower temperature reading is caused by the temperature sensor being located close to the cold evaporator coil. The actual room temperature will be displayed within a few minutes.
Water drips from cabinet into your house
■The air conditioner is not properly leveled. The air conditioner should slope slightly downward toward the outside. Level the air conditioner to provide a downward slope toward the outside to ensure proper drainage. See the Installation Instructions.
NOTE: Do not drill a hole into the bottom of the metal base and condensate pan.
