Unit Does Not Cool Room
Sufciently, or Cycles On
And Off Too Frequently.
• The return/ discharge air grille is
blocked.
• Ensure that the return and/ or discharge air paths are not blocked by curtains,
blinds, furniture, etc.
• Windows or doors to the outside are
open.
• Ensure that all windows and doors are closed.
• The temperature is not set at a cool
enough enough setting.
• Adjust the Temperature control to a cooler or warmer setting as necessary.
• The lter is dirty or obstructed. • Clean the lter, (see Routine Maintenance), or remove obstruction.
• The indoor coil or outdoor coil is dirty or
obstructed.
• Clean the coils, (see Routine Maintenance), or remove obstruction.
• There is excessive heat or moisture
(cooking, showers, etc.) in the room.
• Be sure to use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and, if possible, try not
to use heat producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
• The temperature of the room you are
trying to cool is extremely hot.
• Allow additional time for the air conditioner to cool off a very hot room.
Unit Does Not Cool
Room Sufciently, or
Cycles On And Off Too
Frequently (continued).
• The outside temperature is below 60 °F
(16 °C).
• Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the outside
temperature is below 60 °F (16 °C). The unit will not cool properly, and the unit
may be damaged.
• The digital control is set to fan cycling
mode.
• Since the fan does not circulate the room air continuously at this setting, the
room air does not mix as well and hot (or cold) spots may result. Using the con-
tinuous fan setting is recommended to obtain optimum comfort levels.
• The air conditioner has insufcient
cooling capacity to match the heat gain
of the room.
• Check the cooling capacity of your unit to ensure it is properly sized for the room
in which it is installed. Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple
rooms.
• The air conditioner has insufcient
heating capacity to match the heat loss
of the room.
• Check the heating capacity of your unit. Air conditioners are sized to meet the cooling
load, and heater size is then selected to meet the heating load. In extreme northern
climates, room air conditioners may not be able to be used as a primary source of
heat.
