18.1 INITIAL TROUBLESHOOTING

18.1.1 THIS IS NOT ABNORMAL
18.1.3 NOT OPERATE
Smells from Indoor Unit

Smell adheres on indoor unit after a long period of time.
Clean the air filter and panels or allow a good ventilation.
Check for electrical wiring.
Sound from Deforming Parts

During system starting or stopping, an abrading sound
might be heard. However, this is due to thermal
deformation of plastic parts. It is not abnormal.
Check whether the SET TEMP is set at the correct

temperature.
Steam from Outdoor Heat Exchanger

During defrosting operation, ice on the outdoor heat
exchanger is melted, resulting in making steam.
Dew on Air Panel
When the cooling operation continues for a long period of
time under high humidity conditions (higher than 27C
DB/80% R.H), dew can form on the air panel.
Refrigerant Flow Sound
While the system is being started or stopped, sound from
the refrigerant flow may be heard.
18.1.2 NOT COOLING OR HEATING WELL

Check for obstruction of air flow of the outside or inside
units.
Check if too much heat source exists in the room.
Check if the air filter is clogged with dust.
Check to see if the doors or windows are opened or not.
Check if the temperature condition is not within the
operation range.
Check for dip switch setting.
In the case that RUN lamp on remote control switch is

flickering every 2 seconds, check for connection of
remote control line.
In the case that RUN lamp flashes 5 times (5 seconds)
with unit number and alarm code displayed, refer to the
next item 18.2 Troubleshooting by Alarm Code and the
Service Manual.
In the case that no alarm code is indicated and normal
operation is not available, refer to the Service Manual
because abnormality of some device is suspected.
Error!
18.2 ALARM CODES

If RUN lamp flashes for 2 seconds, there is a failure in
transmission between Indoor Unit and Remote Control
Switch. Possible causes are:
If RUN lamp flashes 5 times (5 seconds) with unit number and

alarm code displayed, note the alarm code (see table below)
and ask your contractor for service.
Unit Number
Remote Cable broken

Contact Failure in Remote Control Cable
IC or Microcomputer defective
In any case, ask your contractor for service
