How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before moving or cleaning it.

  • Step 1 – Check exhaust hose:
    • Ensure the hose is not kinked, crushed, or longer than recommended.
    • Verify the window kit is installed correctly and hot air is vented outside.
  • Step 2 – Improve ventilation:
    • Move the unit at least 30 cm away from walls or furniture.
  • Step 3 – Clean condenser intake:
    • Vacuum dust from the rear grille and clean filters.
  • Step 4 – Cool-down period:
    • Allow the unit to rest for 30 minutes before restarting.
  • Step 5 – Technician check: If P4 recurs, internal temperature sensors or compressor protection circuits may need professional diagnosis.
