Why does my Panasonic Air Conditioner POWER indicator blink before I switch it on?
The POWER indicator on your Panasonic Air Conditioner might blink before you switch it on as a preliminary step in preparation for operation when the ON timer has been set. When the ON Timer is set, the unit may start earlier (up to 35 minutes) before the actual set time in order to achieve the desired temperature on time.
What to do if my Panasonic Air Conditioner's cooling/heating capacity is reduced during the lowest fan speed setting?
If your Panasonic Air Conditioner's cooling or heating capacity is reduced at the lowest fan speed, it's because the low fan speed prioritizes low noise operation. To increase the cooling or heating capacity, increase the fan speed.
Why does my Panasonic Air Conditioner's POWER indicator blink during HEAT mode with no warm air supply?
If the POWER indicator on your Panasonic Air Conditioner blinks during HEAT mode and no warm air is supplied (with the flap closed), it means the unit is in defrost mode and AIR SWING is set to AUTO.
Why does my Panasonic CU-3E18PBE have airflow even after operation has stopped?
The airflow continues even after the operation has stopped on your Panasonic Air Conditioner to extract remaining heat from the indoor unit. This process takes a maximum of 30 seconds.
