Freezing Up
Possible Causes

is unplugged
The fuse is blown/circuit
breaker is tripped
Power failure
Airflow is restricted
The temp control may
not be set high enough
The air filter is dirty
The room may have been hot
Cold air is escaping

from cooling the room
What to Do
• Make sure the air conditioner plug is
pushed completely into the outlet.
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker
box and replace fuse or reset the breaker.
• If power failure occurs, turn the mode
control to OFF . When power is restored,
wait 3 minutes to restart the air conditioner
to prevent tripping of the compressor
overload.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds
or furniture blocking the front of the
air conditioner.
• Turn the knob to a higher number.
The highest setting provides maximum
cooling.
• Clean the filter at least every 30 days.
See the Care and Cleaning section.
• When the air conditioner is first turned on
you need to allow time for the room to
cool down.
• Check for open furnace floor registers and
cold air returns.
• Set the vent in the closed position.
• See freezing up below.
• Set the mode control at FAN ONLY or HIGH
COOL with the temp at 1 or 2.
