◆Trouble-Shooting 
 
 
  Do not repair the air conditioner at your discretion. Incorrect repair may cause electric shock or 
fire, so please contact SINCLAIR Authorized Service Center for professional repair.  
Following checks prior to contact may save your time and costs. 
Fault Cause Analysis 
To protect the air conditioner upon immediate 
restart after a stop, the microcomputer controller 
will delay the unit for 3 minutes before the air 
conditioner will run. 
 
The air conditioner itself has no bad smell. If any, it 
is the bad smell accumulated from environment.   
Solution: Clean the air filter. 
If still any problem, the air conditioner shall be 
cleaned (Please contact SINCLAIR Authorized 
Service Center). 
When the air conditioner is started, or the 
compressor is started or stopped during running or 
the air conditioner is stopped, sometimes you may 
hear “hua-hua” or “di-du-di-du” noise. This is the 
flowing sound of refrigerant other than fault. 
This might occur when indoor temperature and 
humidity are high. This is because the indoor air is 
quickly cooled down.   
After a period of time, the fog will disappear with 
the decrease of indoor temperature and humidity.
 
This is the sound of friction caused by expansion of 
panel or other parts due to the change of 
temperature.
