Maintenance
Please check the following when consigning a repair service:
Symptoms
Water flow sound
Cracking sound
Bad smell in outlet air
Flashing operating indicator
Awaiting indication
Sound when indoor unit is shut-
down; or occurrence of white steam
or cold air
Clicking sound when switching the
air conditioner on
Automatic start or stop
Failure to work
Bad cooling and heating effects
Under the following circumstances, immediately stop the operation, disconnect the manual supply switch, and contact the
after-service personnel:
• When buttons are inflexibly actuated;
• When the fuse and the breaker have been burnt ;
• When there are foreign objects and water in the refrigerant;
• When other abnormal conditions occur.
Reasons
Water flow sound can be heard when starting operation, during operation, or
immediately after stopping operation. When under operation for 2-3 minutes,
the sound may become louder, which is the flowing sound of the refrigerant
or the draining sound of condensed water.
During operation, the air conditioner may make a cracking sound, which is
caused by temperature changes or the slight dilation of the heat exchanger.
The bad smell is caused by walls, carpet, furniture, clothing, cigarette
smoke, and cosmetics, that attaches to the conditioner.
When switching the unit on again after power failure, turn on the manual
power switch and the operating indicator flashes.
This happens when the unit fails to perform the refrigerating operation while
other indoor units are in heating operation. When the operator sets it to the
refrigerating or heating mode and the operation is opposite to the setting, it
displays the awaiting indication.
To prevent oil and refrigerant from blocking the shutdown indoor units, re-
frigerant flows in the short time and makes the sound of flowing refrigerant.
Otherwise, when other indoor unit performs heating operation, white steam
may occur; during refrigerating operation, cold air may appear.
The sound occurs due to the resetting of the expansion valve when the air
conditioner is powered on.
Check if the unit is in the state of Timer-ON and Timer-OFF.
Check if there is a power failure.
Check if the manual power switch is turned off.
Check if the supply fuse and breaker are disconnected.
Check if the protective unit is working.
Check if refrigerating and heating functions are selected simultaneously with
the awaiting indication on the line control.
Check if the air intake and air outlet ports of the outdoor units are blocked.
Check if the door and windows are open.
Check if the filtering screen of the air cleaner is blocked with sludge or dust.
Check if the setting of wind quantity is at low wind.
Check if the setting of operation is at the Fan Operation state.
Check if the temperature setting is proper.
