Airwell conditioner troubleshooting



If your Airwell air conditioner shows any strange symptoms, is not cooling, or is not working at all, the table below will be of great help. Find the symptom in the first column, analyze the possible causes and try the suggested solutions. It is very likely that there’s just a minor issue, and so troubleshooting the appliance will not take much time and effort.

Airwell IU-MINV-HW-9H air troubleshooting

Air conditioners Airwell IU-MINV-HW-9H represent split systems. These systems use the new refrigerant R410A. The air conditioners of this type are fit with cooling, heating and drying functions, which can be detailed as follows: microprocessor controlled operation, one-touch remote control, timers, economy mode, automatic and 3-step fan speed, air sweep control, high power cooling, smell reduction mode, air clean filter and some other options.

Trouble Possible Cause Remedy
Air conditioner does not run at all. 1. Power failure. 1. Restore power.
2. Leakage circuit breaker tripped. 2. Contact service center.
3. Line voltage is too low. 3. Consult your electrician or dealer.
4. Operation button is OFF. 4. Press the button again.
5. Batteries in remote control unit have run down. 5. Replace batteries.
OPERATION lamp blinks and air conditioner does not operate. Trouble in wiring system. Contact service center.
Compressor runs but soon stops. Obstruction in front of condenser coil. Remove obstruction.
Poor cooling (or heating) performance. 1. Dirty or clogged air filter. 1. Clean air filter to improve airflow.
2. Heat source or many people in room. 2. Eliminate heat source if possible.
3. Doors and/or windows are open. 3. Shut them to keep the heat (or cold) out.
4. Obstacle near air intake or air discharge port. 4. Remove it to ensure good airflow.
5. Thermostat is set too high for cooling (or too low for heating). 5. Set the temperature lower (or higher).
6. (Outdoor temperature is too low for heating.) 6. (Consult your dealer or try to use a back-up heater.)
Clicking sound is heard from the air conditioner. In heating or cooling operation, any plastic parts may expand or shrink due to a sudden temperature change. In this event, a clicking sound may occur. This is normal, and the sound will soon disappear.
OPERATION lamp lights but outdoor unit will not run. 1. The use of cellular phones near the air conditioner may cause disturbance to its normal operation. 1. Turn off the power then restart the air conditioner after 1 minute.
2. Consult your dealer.
