Symptom

Cause/Remedy

Troubleshooting

The operating 
sound is loud

Since the unit uses two fans and two motors in addition to the cool air function, the 
operating sound becomes loud compared to models without a cool air function. This is 
not a malfunction. If the operating sound bothers you, use the unit set to  DEHUMIDIFYING  LOW. 
Check to see if the unit is on a slope or uneven surface.

Move to a sturdy even surface.

P6

Check to see if the silver ion fi lter is clogged.

Clean according to the maintenance procedures.

P22~23

Operating the unit in small rooms or in tight spaces sometimes causes 
the sound to reverberate.

Place a mat underneath the unit.

P7

The sound increases when the compressor activates (approximately 3 minutes 
after turning on the unit or during automatic operation ( DEHUMIDIFYING  AUTO)).
Is operation being performed with the unit set to  DEHUMIDIFYING  LOW?

When the room temperature becomes 35°C or more, operation is performed 
with the same amount of wind as HIGH in order to protect the compressor. 

The volume of the sound differs depending on the angle of the louvre.

P16

This is the sound of the refrigerant. The sound can be heard while the refrigerant 
stabilizes after the unit turns on, changes modes, or stops.

This is the sound of the air fl ow route changing. The unit sometimes makes 
sounds when the operating mode changes or the air fl ow route changes during 
operation. 

This is the sound of the compressor. In modes that monitor the humidity 
level or during drying inside, the compressor operates intermittently 
causing the sound to be heard occasionally. The compressor does not 
activate after turning the unit off, or for 3 minutes after plugging the unit 
into a power socket. (This is to protect the compressor from damage.)

P12~14

The unit 
makes 
noises

The operating 
noise is loud/
reverberates

The operating 
sound suddenly 
increases in 
volume 

The sound changes 
in volume

The unit produces 
a simmering sound 
The unit makes a 
gentle clinking or 
rattling sound

The unit produces 
a buzz that sounds 
intermittently (or 
the compressor 
does not activate)

When fi rst used 

The heat converter heats rapidly causing an odour. This is not a malfunction.

The moisture expelled from inside the unit may smell due to odorants that 
were not caught by the silver ion fi lter dissolving in the water. This is not a 
malfunction.
