Troubleshooting

Unit not cooling or heating effectively.

Ensure the correct power lead is securely connected. Check that the selected function (cool/heat) is active. Verify that the ambient temperature is within the operational range for the desired effect. Make sure vents are not blocked and allow sufficient time for the unit to reach temperature.

Unit is making unusual noises.

Ensure the unit is on a level surface. Check for any obstructions around the fan. If noise persists, contact customer support.

No power to the unit.

Confirm the power lead is correctly plugged into both the unit and the power source. Test the power source with another device. Ensure the power outlet or car socket is functioning.

Condensation forming inside the unit.

Some condensation is normal, especially in humid environments or when switching between cool and heat modes. Wipe away excess moisture with a dry cloth. Ensure the door seal is intact and the unit is not overfilled.
