l Are you waiting three minutes after turning cooling circuit off before trying to restart unit?

Unit turns on and off, or does not cool room:

Operating sounds:

When your room air conditioner is operating normally, you will hear sounds such as:

l Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a “pinging” or “clicking” sound. Water droplets help to cool the condenser.

l Air movement from the fan, especially on high fan speed setting.

l Clicks from the thermostat cycle.

Sounds also may be caused by house construc- tion-such as vibration of the unit due to wall construction or unsteady window mounting area.
