What to do if TCL W5WR1 Air Conditioner does not cool as it should?
If your TCL Air Conditioner isn't cooling properly, several factors could be the cause. Make sure that airflow isn't restricted by curtains, blinds, or furniture. Ensure the thermostat is set to a lower temperature. Clean the air filter. Allow time for the room to cool down. Check for open furnace registers and cold air returns. Finally, inspect for frozen cooling coils.
Why is water dripping inside from my TCL W5WR1?
If water is dripping inside from your TCL air conditioner, it's likely because the unit isn't correctly tilted outside. To ensure proper water drainage, make sure the air conditioner is slightly tilted downward from the front to the rear.
Why is water dripping outside from my TCL W5WR1 Air Conditioner?
If you notice water dripping outside your TCL Air Conditioner, especially during hot and humid weather, this is normal.
How to fix TCL W5WR1 Air Conditioner remote control not working?
If your TCL Air Conditioner remote control isn't working, check if the batteries are inserted correctly and replace them if they are dead.
Why TCL W5WR1 will not start?
Your TCL Air Conditioner might not start due to several reasons: it may be unplugged (ensure the plug is fully inserted into the outlet), a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker (check and replace/reset), a power failure (the unit will restart automatically after a 3-minute delay to protect the compressor), or a tripped current interrupter device (press the RESET button on the power cord; if it doesn't stay engaged, contact a qualified technician).
What to do if TCL W5WR1 is freezing up?
If your TCL Air Conditioner is freezing up, it means that ice is blocking the airflow, preventing it from cooling the room. To solve this, set the Mode to High Fan or High Cool and adjust the thermostat to a higher temperature.
Why does water collect in the base pan of my TCL W5WR1 Air Conditioner?
Water collecting in the base pan of your TCL Air Conditioner is normal. It happens because moisture removed from the air drains into the base pan. This is typical for a short period in low humidity areas and for longer periods in high humidity areas.
