2.3 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 
In general, possible trouble is classified in three kinds. One is called Starting Failure which is caused 
from an electrical defect, another is ineffective Air Conditioning caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit 
and improper application, and the other is called the Structure Damage.

PROBLEM  POSSIBLE CAUSE  REMEDY 
Power failure 
Check the power supplier if the power supplier is supplied to the 
unit. Check the power cord and correct if damaged. 
Transformer (Discharge 
transformer before testing) 
Check resistance between the two input/output lines on 
transformer. Replace the transformer if either of the input/output 
is open or the transformer is damaged. 
No power display 
on panel or any one 
of the buttons 
failure. 
Display board or main PCB 
failure 
Check the voltage on display board. Replace the display board if 
it is +5V else replace the main PCB.   
Remote control 
failure.
 
Battery failure 
Check the voltage of battery. Replace batteries if the voltage is 
lower than 2.3V. 
Check voltage. Call an electrician if not within limits. 
Test capacitor.                                              
Replace if not within +/-10% of manufacture's rating.
 
Check bearings. Replace the motor if the blower wheel cannot 
rotate freely.
 
Fan motor runs 
intermittently 
Cycles on overload. 
Pay attention to any change from high speed to low speed. 
Replace the motor if the speed does not change.
 
Refrigerant 
The amount of the refrigerant is too much, making the 
compressor load too big. Recycle and recharge the refrigerant 
after checking for the reason. 
Compressor stops 
instantly after 
startup. 
Compressor
 
The compressor is blocked inside. Replace after checking for the 
reason.
