If your Ameristar Air Conditioner doesn't start, even after turning it on, it might be in standby mode for about a minute. Also, if you've just turned it off and immediately try to restart it, the overload protection switch might delay the start for approximately three minutes.
Why does my Ameristar 18 Series indoor unit still run after I switch it off?
This can occur in Ameristar Air Conditioners because the indoor fan motor will keep running for 20-70 seconds after the unit is switched off. This allows it to use excess cooling and heating and prepare for the next operation.
Why does mist come from my Ameristar 18 Series?
If you notice mist coming from your Ameristar Air Conditioner when the cooling cycle begins, it's because the unit is rapidly cooling the high humidity air inside the room.
Why is my Ameristar 18 Series Air Conditioner blowing out dust?
If your Ameristar Air Conditioner is blowing out dust, it's likely due to dust that has accumulated inside the unit when it has been off for a while.
What are the possible causes of sound coming from my Ameristar 18 Series?
Several sounds are normal for Ameristar Air Conditioners. A slight cracking sound when the unit starts is the electronic expansion valve initializing. Sounds during cooling are the gas refrigerant flowing. Sounds when the unit starts or stops are the gas refrigerant starting or stopping. A slight sound when running or after running is the drainage system. A cracking sound during and after operation is the unit panels expanding or contracting due to temperature change.
Why does my Ameristar 18 Series emit an odor?
If your Ameristar Air Conditioner emits an odor while operating, it's likely that the unit is blowing out room odor that it has absorbed.
