Electronic Parts Troubleshooting Guide 1. Product does not operate at all. (* Refer to Electronic Control Device drawing and Schematic diagram.) Turn off Main Power (After 10 seconds) Turn on Main Power Does "beeping" sound is made from the Indoor Unit? Primarily, the operating condition of Micom is OK.
Page 45
2. The product is not operate with the remote control. Turn on Main Power While the compressor has been stopped, the compressor does not operate owing to the delaying function for 3 minutes after stopped. When the compressor stopped Indoor Fan is driven by a low speed. At this point the wind speed is not controlled by the remote controller.

3. Compressor/Outdoor Fan are unable to drive. Turn on Main Power Operate "Cooling Mode( )" by setting the desired temperature of the remote controller is less than one of the indoor temperature by 1°C at least. When in Air Circulation Mode, Compressor/Outdoor Fan is stopped. Check the sensor for indoor temperature is attached as close as to be effected by the temperature of Heat Exchanger(EVA).
