If you\u2019re experiencing any of the following issues, you know what it is and what you need to do.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Is the Unit Having Trouble Operating?<\/h2>\n<p>Is your cooling system not turning on? You need to check the display on the fan coil in case there\u2019s a fault code. It\u2019ll be useful to keep the instructions manual nearby just in case you need to go back and check a few technical details.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, you should check the settings of the room temperature on the remote control. It might be that the system is set on a different mode, which is why it\u2019s not functioning right.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, cooling systems take 3 minutes (or longer) to start functioning so make sure you wait for it to start before panicking.<\/p>\n<h2>Is it blowing dry air only?<\/h2>\n<p>This is a commonly reported problem in split systems. The unit often dispels dry air instead of condensed cooling. In such instances, you must check the air filter if it has become too polluted to let cool air pass. If so, you need to take them out and clean them before running the system again.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s not the case, it could be because of an ice buildup on the coil. This might restrict the working of the fan and the blower wheel. If the fan\u2019s not working, let the system sit idle until the ice melts. Otherwise, it\u2019s probably because of the control board or a faulty motor. Call the pros if the problem is unmanageable; we\u2019ll handle it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-272\" src=\"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blog1-4.jpg\" alt=\"Ductless Split System 2\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blog1-4-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blog1-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blog1-4-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blog1-4-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blog1-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blog1-4-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/blog1-4.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Is it leaking<\/h2>\n<p>The split system often tends to drip when the drain hose has become clogged. In order to unblock the drainage system, you can either try some DIY hacks or call our professionals. However, if you take on the job yourself, make sure you know what you\u2019re doing and don\u2019t mess it up further.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it\u2019s not because of the clogged drain hose but because the fan coil is not sloped correctly. The unit needs to be placed at an angle that allows for proper drainage. If it\u2019s placed incorrectly, it\u2019ll cause the waste water to leak out.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/g.page\/globalheatingcooling?we\">HVAC contractors Chicago<\/a> that offer repairs for <a href=\"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/cooling\/air-conditioner-repair.html\">Ductless Split Cooling systems Chicago<\/a>, we\u2019re here to help. <a href=\"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/contact-us.html\">Contact us right here<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/\">Air Conditioning Solutions Chicago<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Troubleshooting ductless split systems can be challenging for someone who\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":271,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":273,"href":"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270\/revisions\/273"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalheatingcooling.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
