TROUBLESHOOTING BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of a defect in workmanship or materials. Problem Air conditioner will not start Air conditioner does not cool properly Air conditioner runs too often or too long Possible Causes • The air conditioner plug is not completely inserted in the electrical outlet. • The house fuse is blown or the circuit breaker has tripped. • Power failure. • The integrated circuit breaker in the plug has tripped. • P2 appears in the display. • Room temperature is less than the set temperature. Solutions • Make sure electrical plug is plugged completely into a live, properly grounded outlet. • Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Make sure that there are no other appliances on the same circuit. • If a power failure occurs, turn the power OFF. When power is restored, wait 3 minutes before restarting the air conditioner. • Press the RESET button on the air conditioner plug. If the reset button will not stay engaged, unplug the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician. The water collection tank is full. Drain the tank and reset your settings. • This is normal. The air conditioner automatically shuts off when the room equals or is less than the set temperature. Adjust the temperature setting, if needed. • Airflow is restricted. • The air filter is dirty. • The room is very hot, or not enough time allowed for cooling. • Cold air is escaping. • Cooling coils have iced up. • Make sure there is sufficient clearance around the air conditioner and that the air inlet and outlet are not blocked by furniture, curtains, etc. • Clean the air filter at least every two weeks. See the Care and Cleaning section. • When first turned on, allow the air conditioner sufficient time to cool the room. • Check for open furnace floor registers or cold air returns, or open windows or doors. • In especially hot, humid weather and when the air conditioner is running frequently or for extended periods, ice can form on the cooling coils, blocking air flow. Set the controls to High Fan or High Cool, and set to a warmer temperature. • Area to be cooled is too large for the air conditioner. • Doors or windows are open. • Consult your dealer for the air conditioner capacity necessary to cool the desired area. • Make sure doors and windows are closed. 22
