Why is my Hitachi RAS-18SH3 filter cleaning not starting?
- FFrances Thompson MDAug 11, 2025
The filter cleaning operation might not start due to several reasons. In basic cooling operation, it won't start even if you press the (MANUAL CLEAN) button. Also, it won't restart during or within 5 minutes after a cleaning operation to protect the device. Check if 'filter cleaning operation prohibited' is set and return to the filter cleaning operation setting. Ensure that the micro mesh stainless filter, dust catcher, filter cleaning wiper, and wiper cover are correctly installed. Lastly, filter cleaning is skipped if the unit is stopped by the Sleep Timer or Off Timer, but it will occur approximately once a week.
