Why Arctic King WWK05CM91N Air Conditioner cooling, but room is too warm, with no ice forming?
- A
  Amy RiveraAug 16, 2025
  There might be several reasons why your Arctic King air conditioner is cooling, but the room remains too warm, and no ice is forming on the cooling coil: * The air filter may be dirty, consider cleaning it. * The temperature might be set too high, so try setting it to a lower temperature. * The air directional louvers might be positioned improperly, consider repositioning them for better air distribution. * The front of the unit might be blocked by drapes, blinds, furniture, etc., restricting air distribution, so clear any obstructions. * Doors, windows, or registers might be open, causing cold air to escape, so close them. * If the unit was recently turned on in a hot room, allow additional time to remove 'stored heat' from walls, ceiling, floor, and furniture.

  If your Arctic King air conditioner is cooling, but the room is too warm and ice is forming on the cooling coil, consider the following: * If the outdoor temperature is below 64°F (18°C), set the unit to FAN ONLY mode to defrost the coil. * A dirty air filter can cause this issue. Clean the filter and set the unit to FAN ONLY mode to defrost it. * If the thermostat is set too cold for night-time cooling, set the unit to FAN ONLY mode to defrost the coil, and then set the temperature to a higher setting.

Why is there noise when my Arctic King WWK05CM91N Air Conditioner is cooling?
- A
  Alexis BeanAug 21, 2025
  The noise you hear when your Arctic King air conditioner is cooling could be due to: * Normal air movement sound; if it's too loud, try setting the FAN to a slower speed. * Window vibration caused by poor installation; in this case, refer to the installation instructions or check with the installer.

  Andrew NobleAug 25, 2025
  If your Arctic King air conditioner isn't starting, here are a few things to check: * Make sure the wall plug is firmly pushed into the wall outlet. * Check if a house fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped; replace the fuse with a time-delay type or reset the circuit breaker. * If the unit has a plug current device, check if it has tripped and press the RESET button. * Ensure that the power is turned on and set to the desired setting. * If the unit was recently turned off and then on quickly, turn it off and wait 3 minutes before restarting.

Why does my Arctic King Air Conditioner turn on and off rapidly?
- R
  Richard ClarkAug 27, 2025
  Your Arctic King air conditioner might be turning on and off rapidly due to: * A dirty air filter restricting airflow, so try cleaning the air filter. * Extremely hot outside temperatures; in this case, set the FAN speed to a higher setting to circulate air past the cooling coils more frequently.

Why Arctic King Air Conditioner air from unit does not feel cold enough?
- W
  Wendy ParkerAug 30, 2025
  If the air from your Arctic King air conditioner doesn't feel cold enough, it could be due to these reasons: * If the room temperature is below 62°F (17°C), cooling may not occur until the room temperature rises above this level. * The temperature sensing element might be touching the cold coil behind the air filter; if so, straighten the tube away from the coil. * Consider resetting to a lower temperature. * If the compressor shut off by changing modes, wait approximately 3 minutes and listen for the compressor to restart when set in the COOL mode.
