Issue Possible Causes
The indoor unit 
makes noises
A rushing air sound may occur when the louver resets its 
position.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT 
mode due to expansion and contraction of the unit’s plastic 
parts.
Both the indoor 
unit and outdoor 
unit make noises
Low hissing sound during operation: This is normal and is 
caused by refrigerant gas flowing through both indoor and 
outdoor units.
Low hissing sound when the system starts, has just stopped 
running, or is defrosting: This noise is normal and is caused by 
the refrigerant gas stopping or changing direction.
Squeaking sound: Normal expansion and contraction of 
plastic and metal parts caused by temperature changes during 
operation can cause squeaking noises.
The outdoor unit 
makes noises
The unit will make different sounds based on its current 
operating mode.
Dust is emitted 
from either the 
indoor or outdoor 
unit
The unit may accumulate dust during extended periods of 
non-use, which will be emitted when the unit is turned on. 
This can be mitigated by covering the unit during long periods 
of inactivity.
The unit emits a 
bad odor
The unit may absorb odors from the environment (such as 
furniture, cooking, cigarettes, etc.) which will be emitted 
during operations.
The unit’s filters have become moldy and should be cleaned.
The fan of the 
outdoor unit does 
not operate
During operation, the fan speed is controlled to optimize 
product operation.
Operation 
is erratic, 
unpredictable, 
or unit is 
unresponsive
Interference from cell phone towers and remote boosters may 
cause the unit to malfunction.
In this case, try the following:
s Disconnect the power, then reconnect.
s Press ON/OFF button on remote control to restart operation.
NOTE:  If problem persists, contact a local dealer or your nearest customer service 
center. Provide them with a detailed description of the unit malfunction as 
well as your model number.
