TROUBLESHOOTING
Instructions relating to heating (*) are applicable only to “HEAT & COOL MODEL” (Reverse Cycle).
In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, turn off the electrical 
breaker, and consult authorized service personnel.
Merely turning off the unit’s power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from the power 
source. Always be sure to turn off the electrical breaker to ensure that power is completely off.
Before requesting service, perform the following checks:

NORMAL
FUNCTION
Doesn’t operate immedi-
ately:
●  If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the com-
pressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to prevent 
fuse blowouts.
● Whenever the electrical breaker is turned off then on again, the 
protection circuit will operate for about 3 minutes, preventing unit 
operation during that period.
Noise is heard:
● During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, the 
sound of water fl owing in the air conditioner’s piping may be heard. 
Also, noise may be particularly noticeable for about 2 to 3 minutes 
after starting operation (sound of coolant fl owing).
● During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This is 
the result of minute expansion and contraction of the front panel 
due to temperature changes.
*
●  During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occasion-
ally. This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation
14
Smells:
●  Some smell may be emitted from the indoor unit. This smell is the 
result of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which have been 
taken into the indoor unit.
Mist or steam are 
emitted:
● During Cooling or Dry operation, a thin mist may be seen emit-
ted from the indoor unit. This results from the sudden Cooling of 
room air by the air emitted from the indoor unit, resulting in con-
densation and misting.
*
●  During Heating operation, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop, and 
steam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to the Auto-
matic Defrosting operation.
14
Airfl ow is weak or stops:
*
●  When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily very 
low, to allow internal parts to warm up.
*
●  During Heating operation, if the room temperature rises above 
the thermostat setting, the outdoor unit will stop, and the indoor 
unit will operate at very low fan speed. If you wish to warm the 
room further, set the thermostat to a higher setting.
*
●  During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop opera-
tion (between 4 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting 
mode operates. During the Automatic Defrosting operation, 
 will be shown on the remote controller display.
14
● The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation or 
when the unit is monitoring the room’s temperature.
● During QUIET operation, the fan will operate at very low 
speed.
● In the monitor AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very low 
speed.
● In case of Multi-type unit, if multiple units are operated in differ-
ent operation modes as shown below, the units operated after-
ward will stop and the OPERATION indicator lamp (green) will 
fl ash,
 will be shown on the remote controller display.
