Normal Operating Sounds

■ You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being
picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy
days or when the humidity is high. This design feature
helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.
■ You may hear the thermostat click when the
compressor cycles on and off.
■ Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity
or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip
from the outdoor side of the unit.
■ The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
■ To ensure maximum efficiency, it is recommended to
check and see that the rubber Subbase Water Plug is
properly inserted. This plug may be removed during
operation to minimize water in the back of the unit;
however, removing it will lower the efficiency of your
unit.

■ Water droplets being thrown against the outside
coils can make a pinging noise. This helps cool the
condenser. You can reduce this noise by opening the
water hole seal located on the lower right side of the
unit. Opening this seal will lower the Energy Efficiency
of your unit.
NOTE: Do not drill hole in the base pan.
