Daikin Air Conditioner Troubleshooting

The light is off on my air conditioner.
  • Has the fuse blown?
  • Is the power connected to the power port?
  • Has there been a recent power failure?
  • Have the batteries in the controller failed?
  • Have you set the timer correctly?
The air conditioner is not heating or cooling the room properly.
  • Have you set the temperature and operating mode correctly on the remote controller?
  • How clean are the air filters?
  • Are any only close to the air conditioner blocking the airflow?
  • Have you closed all the windows and doors?
  • Is the ventilation fan working?
The air conditioner unit has stopped and a light is flashing.
  • How clean are the air filters? If possible clean the air filters and restart the unit.
  • Check to see if any objects are blocking the air inlet and outlet of both the indoor and outdoor unit.
There is an odour coming from my air conditioner.
  • A minute amount of ozone is emitted during the purifying process which causes no health issues.
  • When the mould proof function is enabled this can cause an odour if there is an increase in humidity.
My remote controller display is fading.
  • You will need to replace the batteries. Use alkaline batteries which should last one year.
Can I operate my air conditioner without the remote controller?
  • You can press the ON/OFF button on the main unit. The operation mode will be set to automatic.
I have water leaking from the indoor air conditioner unit?
  • Do not operate the aircon and unplug the power then contact the provider or your local air conditioner technician.
