Questions and Answers

  • B
    Beth GibsonAug 10, 2025
    Why does the compressor stop intermittently in COOL or DRY mode and the fan speed decrease on my Samsung AS18A6RC Air Conditioner?
    • D
      Danielle HowardAug 10, 2025
      The compressor may intermittently stop or the fan speed of the indoor unit may decrease in COOL or DRY mode to prevent inside/outside air from freezing, depending on the inside/outside air temperature.

    What to do if the STD operation LED blinks on my Samsung AS18A6RC?
    • J
      Jeremy HardyAug 17, 2025
      When a power plug of the indoor unit is plugged in for the first time, the STD operation indication LED blinks to indicate that power is on. The LED stops blinking if you push the operation ON/OFF button on the remote control unit.
