Air conditioner seems to run too much
• The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The
use of more efficient components may cause the air
conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total
energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do
not emit the "blast" of cold air you may be accustomed to
from older units, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling
capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating lEER) and
capacity rating (in BTU/hr.) marked on the air conditioner.
The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-
producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust
vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-
producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A
higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending
on the size of the room being cooled.
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.
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 in the bottom of the metal base and
condensate pan.
