Before calling for service:
Performance problems often result from little things you can fix yourself without tools
of any kind.

with the proper voltage.

or trips circuit breaker
l Replace household fuse with a time-delay fuse of the
correct capacity.

appliance.

l Clean the filter.
l Clean the coils.
l Use exhaust/venting fans to reduce room heat.
l Set Fan Control to a higher fan speed.
l Set Thermostat to a higher setting.
Normal operating sounds
When your air conditioner is operating
normally, you will hear such sounds as:
l Droplets of water hitting the condenser,
causing a “pinging” or “clicking” sound.
Water droplets help cool the condenser.
l Air movement from the fan - especially on
High fan speed settings.
l Clicks from the cooling cycle.
Sounds also may be caused by house
construction - such as vibration of the unit
due to wall construction or unsteady window
mounting area.
