Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit won't turn on | Power issue, circuit breaker tripped, remote control batteries dead | Check power supply, reset circuit breaker, replace remote batteries |
| Poor cooling/heating | Dirty filters, blocked airflow, incorrect temperature setting | Clean filters, clear obstructions, set appropriate temperature |
| Water leaking indoors | Clogged drain pipe, improper installation angle | Clear drain pipe, ensure proper installation slope |
| Unusual noises | Loose parts, debris in fan, ice buildup | Tighten components, clean unit, check for proper airflow |
| Foul odors | Dirty filters, mold growth in unit | Clean filters, run self-cleaning cycle, use anti-bacterial treatment |
| Remote not working | Dead batteries, signal obstruction, sensor issue | Replace batteries, ensure line of sight, check sensor window |
