Troubleshooting tips

Won't cool?
If your air conditioner operates, but won't cool; check to see
if the controls are properly set. Check the fi lter and clean
thoroughly if needed. Check to see if the vent door is closed.
Check to see if the chassis seal gasket is installed (refer to
installation instructions).
Won't run?
Make sure the power cord is plugged in all the way. Check
for a bad fuse, tripped breaker or tripped LCDI Device.
Refer to page 3 for LCDI reset instructions and to confi rm
proper fuse size.
This is a warm weather appliance
Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when
the outside temperature is above 60°F (16°C) and below 115°F
(46°C), so it won't cool a room if it is already cool outside. If
you want to cool a room in the winter, set the unit to Fan Only
and set the Fresh Air/Exhaust control to Fresh Air. This will
bring in a supply of outside air.
Condensation is normal
Air conditioners actually pump heat and humidity from your
room to the outside air. Hu mid i ty be comes water, and your
air conditioner will use most of the water to keep the outside
coil cool. If there is excessive humidity, there may be excess
water that will drip outside. This is normal op er a tion.

Frosting
This usually occurs because of insuffi cient airfl ow across
the coils, a dirty fi lter, cool, damp weath er, or all of these.
Set unit to Fan Only and the frost will disappear. Setting the
ther mo stat a little warmer will probably prevent the frosting
from recurring.
Noises
All air conditioners make some noise. Friedrich QuietMaster
units operate as quietly as possible. An air conditioner
mounted in a wall is quieter than one mounted in a window.
If mounted in a window, the window mounting kit provided
with the QuietMaster models will reduce operating sound
levels, when properly installed. It is important to ensure that
the chassis seal gasket is properly installed (refer to installation
instructions).
Cleaning your air conditioner
The decorative front and the cabinet can be cleaned with
warm water and a mild liquid de ter gent. The indoor coil can
be vacuumed with a dusting attachment if it appears to be
dirty. The outdoor coil can be gently sprayed with a hose if
you can get to it. If not, you might call your dealer for a more
thorough cleaning when needed. The air fi lter should be
inspected weekly and cleaned if needed by vacuuming with
a dust attachment or by cleaning in the sink using warm water
and a mild dishwashing detergent. Dry thoroughly before
reinstalling the fi lter.
