Why is my Insignia Air Conditioner not cooling?
- J
  Joshua OrozcoAug 7, 2025
  Your Insignia Air Conditioner might not be cooling due to several reasons. Check for obstructions like curtains or furniture blocking airflow. Ensure the temperature control is correctly set to a lower temperature in COOL mode. A dirty air filter can also reduce cooling efficiency, so clean it at least every two weeks. Remove any heat sources from the room and allow sufficient time for the room to cool down after turning on the unit. Finally, verify that the exhaust hose is properly connected, unobstructed, and functioning correctly.

What to do if my Insignia Air Conditioner does not start?

  Several factors can prevent your Insignia Air Conditioner from starting. First, ensure the unit is properly plugged into the outlet. Check your house's fuse or circuit breaker box, replacing the fuse or resetting the breaker if necessary. If a power failure occurred, allow three minutes after power is restored before restarting the unit. Also, check the power cord for a current interrupter device; if tripped, press the RESET button. Note that if 'FL' appears on the display, the water collection tank is full and needs draining. Finally, the air conditioner will not start if the room temperature is less than the set temperature; this is normal, but you can adjust the temperature setting as needed.

Why does my Insignia NS-AC12PWH8 Air Conditioner run too often or too long?

  Thomas PachecoAug 17, 2025
  If your Insignia Air Conditioner runs too often or for too long, it might be due to the area being cooled being too large for the unit's capacity. You may need to consult an Insignia technician to determine the appropriate air conditioner size for your space. Also, ensure that all doors and windows are closed to prevent the unit from overworking.

  If your Insignia Air Conditioner is freezing up, it's likely due to iced-over cooling coils. To resolve this, set the mode control to High Fan or High Cool.

Why is the venting hose on my Insignia NS-AC12PWH8 Air Conditioner hot?
- C
  Carmen BarnettAug 27, 2025
  If your Insignia Air Conditioner's venting hose becomes hot, it is likely because the air conditioner has been running continuously for an extended period. This is considered normal.

Why is my Insignia NS-AC12PWH8 Air Conditioner too loud?
- D
  Dr. Randy SmithSep 1, 2025
  Your Insignia Air Conditioner might seem loud during the first few minutes of operation; this is the normal sound of the compressor starting up. Additionally, a soft, swishing noise heard when turning the unit on or off, or during operation, is the normal sound of liquid refrigerant flowing within the unit.
