DIY Troubleshooting Tips
While some issues require professional attention, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take yourself:
- Check the water supply is turned on and the water level in the reservoir is adequate.
- Check the filter pads for damage or blockages. If you are in a dusty area, they may need more frequent cleaning.
- Inspect the electrical connections and check for anything loose. Make sure the power is turned off first.
- Check your fuse box and make sure your property has an active power supply. Try resetting the unit by turning off the power for 30 seconds, then turning it back on.
- Check the fan rotates freely, and make sure there is no debris on the blades.
- Confirm that the controller is set to the appropriate mode. The most frequently used mode is typically MANUAL. For Slimline Controllers, speed is represented numerically, with 1 being the lowest and 12 the highest.
- If you’ve set the level to maximum but experience low airflow, the controller might be in AUTO or THERMO mode. Switch to MANUAL mode to resolve this.
- Make sure sufficient external doors and windows are open. Remember, higher airflow requires more openings to the outside.
- When there is high outdoor humidity, use the FAN-only mode for optimal performance.
- For units manufactured after 2020, you can use HUMIDITY mode during periods of high outdoor humidity.
