    What to do if my DURASTAR DRAW24F1A Air Conditioner starts and stops frequently?

      If your DURASTAR air conditioner cycles on and off frequently, it might be due to several reasons. There could be too much or too little refrigerant in the system, so check for leaks and recharge the system. Incompressible gas or moisture might have entered the system, requiring you to evacuate and recharge it with refrigerant. The compressor might be broken and need replacement. Lastly, the voltage could be too high or too low; consider installing a manostat to regulate the voltage.

    Why is my DURASTAR Air Conditioner not heating properly?
    • M
      Miguel ShahAug 27, 2025
      If your DURASTAR air conditioner isn't heating properly, it could be due to extremely low outdoor temperatures; consider using an auxiliary heating device. Cold air entering through doors and windows can also affect heating performance, so ensure they are closed. Finally, low refrigerant levels, possibly from a leak, can cause this issue; check for leaks and replenish the refrigerant if necessary.

      Jesse EatonAug 27, 2025
      If the indicator lamps on your DURASTAR air conditioner continue to flash or error codes appear, wait for about 10 minutes to see if the problem resolves itself. If not, disconnect the power, then reconnect it, and turn the unit on. If the problem persists, disconnect the power.

    Why is my DURASTAR DRAW24F1A not cooling well?
    • K
      Kenneth LewisNov 22, 2025
      Several factors can cause poor cooling performance in your DURASTAR air conditioner. The temperature setting might be set higher than the room's temperature, so try lowering it. The air filter or the heat exchanger on either the indoor or outdoor unit could be dirty and require cleaning. Ensure that the air inlet and outlet aren't blocked; if they are, turn off the unit, remove the obstruction, and turn it back on. Also, make sure all doors and windows are closed to prevent heat entry, and close curtains to reduce heat from sunlight. Low refrigerant levels, possibly due to a leak, can also cause this issue; check for leaks and replenish the refrigerant if needed. Finally, too many heat sources in the room, like electronics or people, can overwhelm the unit; try to reduce these heat sources...

Overview

This document is an owner's manual for a Durastar Wall Mounted Indoor Unit Split-Style Air Conditioner, covering models DRAW09F1A, DRAW12F1A, DRAW18F1A, and DRAW24F1A. It provides comprehensive information on the device's function, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.

Function Description:

The Durastar wall-mounted indoor unit is a component of a split-style air conditioning system designed to regulate indoor temperatures. It operates in various modes including COOL, HEAT, DRY (dehumidify), and FAN, allowing users to achieve desired climate control. The unit is designed for residential single-family homes and is part of a system that includes an outdoor unit. It features a remote control for convenient operation and a manual override button for emergency use. The system is equipped with safety features that activate to protect the unit from damage if operated outside specified temperature ranges. It also includes an auto-restart function that restores prior settings after a power interruption.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model Numbers: DRAW09F1A, DRAW12F1A, DRAW18F1A, DRAW24F1A.
  • Operating Temperature Ranges:
    • COOL Mode: Indoor Air: 62°F - 90°F (17°C - 32°C); Outdoor Air: -13°F - 122°F (-25°C - 50°C).
    • HEAT Mode: Indoor Air: 32°F - 86°F (0°C - 30°C); Outdoor Air: -13°F - 86°F (-25°C - 30°C).
    • DRY Mode: Indoor Air: 50°F - 90°F (10°C - 32°C); Outdoor Air: 32°F - 122°F (0°C - 50°C).
  • Temperature Setting: Adjustable between 62°F and 86°F (17°C and 30°C) in COOL, HEAT, and DRY modes, in 1°F (1°C) increments.
  • Outdoor Unit Feature: Equipped with a base pan heater for operation in freezing temperatures as low as -13°F (-25°C).
  • Circuit Board (PCB): Designed with a fuse for overcurrent protection; fuse specifications are printed on the board.
  • Refrigerant Leak Detection: The indoor unit displays "EC" upon detecting a refrigerant leak.

Usage Features:

  • Remote Control: The primary interface for operating the unit, featuring buttons for ON/OFF, MODE selection (AUTO, COOL, DRY, HEAT, FAN), FAN speed adjustment (AUTO, LOW, MED, HIGH), TEMP UP/DOWN, TIMER ON/OFF, SWING (automatic horizontal louver movement), DIRECT (fixed horizontal louver angle adjustment by 6° increments), FOLLOW ME (temperature sensing at remote's location), TURBO (fast cooling/heating), SELF CLEAN, SILENCE/FP (low noise/freeze protection), and LED (display screen on/off).
  • Operating Modes:
    • AUTO Mode: Automatically selects COOL, FAN, HEAT, or DRY to maintain the set temperature.
    • COOL Mode: Provides cooling, with adjustable fan speed.
    • HEAT Mode: Provides heating, with adjustable fan speed. Performance may be affected by outdoor temperature.
    • DRY (Dehumidify) Mode: Reduces humidity, with adjustable temperature. Fan speed cannot be adjusted in DRY mode.
    • FAN Mode: Circulates air without heating or cooling. Temperature cannot be adjusted in FAN mode.
  • Advanced Features:
    • TIMER ON/OFF: Allows scheduling the unit to automatically turn on or off after a set period (30-minute increments up to 10 hours, then 60-minute increments).
    • SLEEP Feature: Decreases energy use during sleep by gradually adjusting the temperature (increases by 2°F/1°C per hour for two hours in COOL mode; decreases by 2°F/1°C per hour for two hours in HEAT mode). Operates for eight hours before returning to normal functioning. Not available in FAN or DRY mode.
    • LED Display: Button to turn the indoor unit's display screen on or off.
    • TURBO Feature: Quickly reaches the set temperature by automatically controlling fan speed. Available in COOL and HEAT modes.
    • SELF CLEAN: Automatically cleans the unit's heat exchanger to prevent bacteria growth from moisture. Available in COOL or DRY modes.
    • SILENCE/FP (Freeze Protection):
      • SILENCE: Reduces indoor unit noise by slowing the compressor and setting the fan to low. May reduce cooling/heating capacity.
      • FP: Sets indoor temperature to 46°F (8°C) to prevent indoor pipes from freezing when the house is unoccupied. Available only in HEAT mode.
    • FOLLOW ME: Optimizes temperature based on the remote control's location, ensuring maximum comfort.
  • Louvered Air Flow:
    • Vertical Angle: Adjustable via SWING (automatic up/down movement) or DIRECT (fixed angle adjustment) buttons on the remote.
