Air Conditioner Troubleshooting

The air conditioner does not cool or heat the room well. 
Is the temperature and the operation mode properly set by the remote controller? 
Are air quantity and direction properly controlled? 
Are air filters clean? 
Are areas directly below or next to the air conditioner blocked by furniture or other objects? 
Are windows and doors closed? 
Has the ventilation fan stopped? 

Warm air does not flow immediately after starting the heating operation. 
This is not a malfunction of the air conditioner. 
The air conditioner is warming up. Please wait for about 3 minutes. 

The air conditioner does not operate. (The operation lamp is off.) 
Is the breaker thrown or the fuse blown? 
Is the power plug connected to the outlet? 
Has there been a power failure? 
Do the batteries in the remote controller need replacement? 
Is the timer set correctly? 

The air conditioner does not operate. (The operation lamp flashes.) 
Unplug the power cord or turn off the circuit breaker. Wait for about 1 minute, and then turn on the power. If the operation lamp flashes, contact the place of purchase. 

The ON/OFF button on the main unit or remote controller does not work. 
Stop operation, unplug the power cord or turn off the circuit breaker, and contact the place of purchase. 

The air conditioner does not operate immediately when the unit is turned on during or after filter cleaning operation. 
The air filter is returning to normal position. Please wait for about 3 minutes. 

The air conditioner does not operate immediately when operation is restarted immediately after stopping, or the operation mode has changed. 
This is not a malfunction of the air conditioner. 
This is to protect the air conditioner. Please wait for about 3 minutes. 

The air conditioner does not operate immediately when dry or cooling operation is activated. 
When dry or cooling operation is activated with the auto fan speed setting set to ON, the SMELL PROOF operation starts and removes stagnant odor from the indoor unit before air is discharged. Therefore, the unit does not discharge air immediately after the operation starts. Please wait for about 30 to 40 seconds. 

Operation stops unexpectedly. (The operation lamp is on.) 
This is not a malfunction of the air conditioner. 
When the voltage fluctuates largely, operation can stop to protect the air conditioner. Operation restarts automatically in about 3 minutes. 

The unit turns on and off repeatedly. (The operation lamp is on.) 
When the room temperature reaches the set temperature, the air conditioner operates in breeze mode to prevent excessive cooling or heating. When the room temperature decreases or increases from the set temperature, the breeze mode is cancelled and the air flow volume increases. When the room temperature is stable and remains near the set temperature, the air flow volume may increase and decrease repeatedly. 

Operation stops unexpectedly when ON timer is set. 
This is not a malfunction of the air conditioner. 
When the ON timer is set, operation starts up to 1 hour before the time set to reach the setpoint. If the remote controller is operated during this time, the operation automatically stops. Restart operation using the remote controller. 

Operation stops unexpectedly. (The operation lamp on the main unit flashes.) 
Are the air filters clean? If not, clean the air filters and restart operation using the remote controller.If the operation lamp still flashes, disconnect the power plug from the outlet or turn the breaker off and contact the place of purchase. 
Are there any objects blocking the air inlet or outlet of the indoor/outdoor unit? Remove any objects and restart operation using the remote controller. 


Furnace Troubleshooting

Not heating?  
The electrical system that provides power to your furnace has either shorted or blown the power switch. Reset your furnace’s circuit breaker. If it is blown, you’ll have to replace it. 
The furnace’s igniter is likely cracked or faulty. Check if the part has cracks and replace the igniter if it does. If it doesn’t, use a multimeter to test for continuity. 

Cycling irregularly?  
Your furnace’s thermostat may be adjusting incorrectly. If the thermostat has an adjustable calibration scale, you can adjust the heat anticipator. If this does not address the cycling or you don’t have a scale, you may have to replace the thermostat. 

Not blowing hot air? 
The blower motor could have burnt out. If this isn’t the case, then the connecting belt could be broken. Check to see if power is going to the motor. If it is, but nothing is working, the motor is likely dead and needs to be replaced. If the motor runs but air doesn’t move, the connecting belt has probably broken and should be replaced. 

Blowing too much air?  
If the relay that regulates the blower motor on the control board has stopped, it will continually send voltage to the motor. Replace the control board. 
The contact that controls the blower motor on your thermostat may be stuck shut. This results in the blower motor to run constantly. Use a multimeter to check for continuity. If the problem is the thermostat, replace it. 

Starting and then stopping shortly after?  
Your furnace’s flame sensor checks if a flame is present. If it's defective or there's debris, it won't be able to detect a flame. If dirty, carefully clean the sensor using a fine abrasive pad. If still not working, replace the flame sensor.


Heat Pump Troubleshooting

If you're experiencing issues with your Daikin heat pump, you can try some troubleshooting steps to identify and potentially resolve the problem. Here are some general troubleshooting tips for Daikin heat pumps:

Check the power supply: Ensure that the heat pump is receiving power. Check the circuit breaker or fuse box to make sure the circuit is not tripped or the fuse is not blown.

Verify the thermostat settings: Make sure the thermostat is set to the desired temperature and operating mode (heating or cooling). Ensure that the fan setting is appropriate (auto or on).

Clean or replace air filters: Dirty or clogged air filters can reduce airflow and impact the performance of your heat pump. Clean or replace the filters as recommended by the manufacturer.

Check the outdoor unit: Inspect the outdoor unit for any debris, such as leaves, dirt, or obstructions. Clear away any blockages that may be impeding airflow.

Clear the condensate drain line: If you notice water pooling around the indoor unit, the condensate drain line may be clogged. Clear the drain line by using a vacuum or a pipe cleaner.

Ensure proper airflow: Ensure that the supply and return air vents are open and unobstructed. Furniture, curtains, or other objects should not be blocking the airflow.

Reset the system: Try resetting the heat pump by turning off the power to the unit for a few minutes, then turning it back on.

Check error codes: If your heat pump displays an error code, refer to the user manual or contact Daikin customer support to understand the specific issue and recommended actions.

If the troubleshooting steps above do not resolve the problem, it is recommended to contact a professional HVAC technician or Daikin service provider. They will have the expertise to diagnose and repair any specific issues with your Daikin heat pump.

My heater obsoleted over a year ago, prompting another visit to Daikin. The replacement wasn’t long in coming and I was able to continue with my life as usual. Though this is not your normal air conditioner as it is designed to save lots of energy, pushing down your energy bills, you will love its efficiency. The machine senses the inactivity in the house and automatically shifts to standby mode, further saving on electricity bills. I have been using it for the last 15 months.

I just recently had the new Daikin furnace installed into our home and so far I'm very impressed with both it's energy efficiency as well as it's overall quiet operation. This new unit also has a much smaller footprint than the unit it's replacing, which in turn takes up less valuable space in our utility room. I'm very pleased with making this purchase.

The variable drive DX20VC is an excellent choice for the homeowner that plans to stay in their existing home for 5+ years. This pay back on savings from utilities, comfort, and lack of noise that this unit provides is second to none. We have installed many of this exact model and I can honestly say that we have not been back to one installation for anything. The warranty is the best in the business and the factory support has been great. Nice product Daikin!

The Daikin 12,000 BTU 24.5 Seer heat pump carries out its duties diligently and silently but I have a problem with the much-touted energy saving feature it is supposed to have. My power bills have shot through the stratosphere since I started using it 10 months ago. I would love to know if anything can be done about its power consumption so that I wouldn’t have to worry about energy costs. Generally, it is a nice gadget.

We installed 4 of these systems at the same home, which was of course a costly investment for the homeowner so they were a little nervous about such a purchase. After a summer the customer is so happy with the performance and has reported unbelievable energy savings. The outside units sit just outside the master bedroom and they are relieved to be able to sleep well again! Also, as our installers and service technicians learn more about this product they've really enjoyed the ease of installation and testing.

We purchased a new furnace and central air unit. The house seems much more cooler with so much less effort. The air condition unit outside is so quiet you can hardly hear it running. We haven’t how do use the furnace yet but I’m sure it will be just as effective. We are extremely happy with both of our set ups and Applegate cooling and heating did an amazing job installing them. The warranty coverage that comes with the system is absolutely amazing along with all the rebates.

I wouldn’t mind the hum of the powerful Daikin 24,000 BTU AC so long as it does its job well. I don’t see any sense in going for a quiet but hopelessly ineffective device. The slight vibrations are great for soothing me into a deep slumber! I think Daikin made a big balance between power and noise levels – huge power means you have to sacrifice certain niceties like a quiet device. At less than $3,000, it is the best bargain one can ever out there. I have been using it since 18 months ago, and so far, nothing to complain about.

If cooling is your main concern, you simply can’t go wrong with Daikin air conditioners. Additionally, the manufacturer hires professional representatives that are always respectful and try to find a solution, no matter the issue at hand.

Last summer, I realized that my old heat pump was no longer up to the task and quickly went out to get a new device. A friend had pointed me in the direction of Daikin and had promised I would never regret the decision. Well, I haven’t. 5 months down the line and the machine doesn’t show any signs of fatigue. It is a true reflection of Japanese technology, famed to be among the best in the world.

I purchased my home in 2016 and it was built in 1977. This home is ~2,600 sq.ft. and has an unfinished basement. The HVAC system was very dated, and the furnace was likely the original. Using Legacy Heating and Air, Inc., a new full system install was done. The components used are all Daikin (aside from a water heater also replaced), and are the following: DM97MC1005CN (Furnace), DX17VSS421AA (A/C), CAPE4860C4 (Coil), DTST-CWBSA-NI-A (Thermostat). I could immediately feel the difference. There were rooms in the house that weren't getting much or any air adjustments because the old system was simply not a great fit for the house and inefficient. With the current system, I can now cool or heat the house evenly several degrees within minutes. The new thermostat is very slick, and easy to control. I haven't seen the new cost for energy consumption (not billed using new system yet), but from what I can tell is it's going to be a nice difference. Everything is incredibly quiet and I'm very pleased with this investment.

The furnace and air conditioner are great. However, the thermostat is pretty complicated to make changes. I did not find useful information on the web to help me through the process of changing high and low temperature and setting the schedule.

My old furnace needed replacing and I struggle with the decision to spend a little more for a modulating furnace. I finally choose a DM97MC furnace with a Daikin One thermostat. I am very impressed how quiet the system is. I can’t even hear then it runs. And, now my house is more balanced even with no swings in temperature. Very impressive.

I received this gadget from Amazon 13 month ago and my heart has been swelling with pride every time I step into the house. Silent air-conditioning and a massive 18,000 BTU power was more that I had bargained for. No disturbance in my sleep as I can simply program the device, thanks to its wireless LCD remote control. Daikin should know they have one satisfied customer.
