13 Trouble shooting 
 
 
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.
 
No power  Check voltage at electrical outlet. Correct if none. 
Water alarm  Check and correct if water alarm happens. 
 
Power supply cord 
Check voltage at the power cord terminal on Main PCB. 
Replace the power cord if none.
 
 
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.
 
Wire disconnected or 
connection loose
 
Connect wire. Refer to wiring diagram for terminal 
identification. Repair or replace loose terminal.
 
 
Main PCB failure 
Select fan speed and Check the voltage on main PCB. Replace 
the main PCB if no voltage in anyone.
 
 
Capacitor (Discharge 
capacitor before testing)
 
Test capacitor. 
Replace if not within +/-10% of manufacture's rating. Replace if 
shorted, open or damaged.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fan motor will not 
run.
 
 
Will not rotate 
Fan blower hitting scroll. Realign assembly. 
Check fan motor bearings. Replace the motor if motor shaft do 
not rotate.
 
 
Fan blower 
Replace the fan blower if cracked, out of balance, or partially 
missing.
 
Loose screws  Tighten them. 
 
 
 
Fan motor noise.
 
 
Worn bearings 
Replace the motor if knocking sounds continue when running or
loose, or the motor hums or noise appears to be internal while 
running.
 
Voltage  Check voltage. Call Supply Authority if not within limits. 
 
 
Wiring
 
Check the wire connections, if loose, repair or replace the 
terminal. If wires are off, refer to wiring diagram for 
identification, and replace. Check wire locations. If not per 
wiring diagram, correct.
 
Main PCB failure  Check voltage of main PCB. Replace the main PCB if open. 
Compressor will 
not run while fan 
motor runs.
 
 
Capacitor (Discharge 
capacitor before testing)
 
Check the capacitor. 
Replace if not within +/-10% of manufacturers rating. Replace if 
shorted, open, or damaged.
