Here is the solution. (Unit is operating normally.)
Clean the filter. (Airflow is reduced when the filter is dirty or clogged.)
Check the temperature adjustment and adjust the set temperature.
Make sure that there is plenty of space around the outdoor unit. Is the
indoor unit air inlet or outlet blocked?
Has a door or window been left open?
Warm air does not blow until the indoor unit has sufficiently warmed
up.
When the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is high,
frost may form on the outdoor unit. If this occurs, the outdoor unit
performs a defrosting operation. Normal operation should begin after
approximately 10 minutes.
During cool mode, the vanes automatically move to the horizontal
(down) position after 1 hour when the down (horizontal) airflow up/
down direction is selected. This is to prevent water from forming and
dripping from the vanes.
During heat mode, the vanes automatically move to the horizontal
airflow up/down direction when the airflow temperature is low or
during defrosting mode.
When the airflow up/down direction is changed, the vanes move to the
set position after detecting the base position.
These sounds can be heard when refrigerant is flowing in the air
conditioner or when the refrigerant flow is changing.
These sounds can be heard when parts rub against each due to
expansion and contraction from temperature changes.
The indoor unit draws in air that contains gases produced from the
walls, carpeting, and furniture as well as odors trapped in clothing,
and then blows this air back into the room.
If the indoor temperature and the humidity are high, this condition may
occur when operation starts.
During defrosting mode, cool airflow may blow down and appear like a
mist.
During cool mode, water may form and drip from the cool pipes and
joints.
During heat mode, water may form and drip from the heat exchanger.
During defrosting mode, water on the heat exchanger evaporates and
water vapor may be emitted.
Is the power switch of the indoor unit turned off? Turn on the power
switch.
