• While on DRY and FAN modes, it shows the room temperature.
• Shows Error codes and protection code:
  E1-Room temperature sensor error.
  E2-Evaporator temperature sensor error.
  E3-Condenser temperature sensor error (on some models).
  E4-Display panel communication error.
  E7-Zero-crossing malfunction.
  P1-Bottom tray is full--Connect the drain hose and drain the collected water away. If this error repeats, call for service.

At this time the air conditioning/dehumidification process will immediately stop. However, the fan motor will continue to operate(this is normal). Carefully move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug and let the water drain away. Reinstall the bottom drain plug and restart the machine until the "P1" symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call for service.
