| Problem | Cause |
|---|
| The OPERATION indication LED(BLUE) blinks when a power plug of the indoor unit is plugged in for the first time. | It indicates power is on. The LED stops blinking if the operation ON/OFF button on the remote control unit is pushed. |
| In a COOL operation mode, the compressor does not operate at a room temperature higher than the setting temperature that the INDOOR FAN should operate. In a HEAT operation mode, the compressor does not operate at a room temperature lower than the setting temperature that indoor fan should operate. | In happens after a delay of 3 minutes when the compressor is reoperated. The same phenomenon occurs when a power is on. As a phenomenon that the compressor is reoperated after a delay of 3 minutes, the indoor fan is adjusted automatically with reference to a temperature of the air blew. |
| Fan speed setting is not allowed in DRY(&) mode. | The speed of the indoor fan is set to LL in DRY mode. Fan speed is selected automatically in AUTO mode. |
| Compressor stops operation intermittently in DRY(C?) mode. | Compressor operation is controlled automatically in DRY mode depending on the room temperature and humidity. |
| Timer LED(ORANGE) of the indoor unit lights up and the air conditioner does not operate. | Timer is being activated and the unit is in ready mode. |
| The unit operates normally if the timer operation is cancelled. |
| The compressor stops intermittently in a COOL mode or DRY mode, and fan speed of the indoor unit decreases. | The compressor stops intermittently or the fan speed of the indoor unit decreases to prevent inside/outside air frozen depending on the inside/outside air temperature. |
| Compressor of the outdoor unit is operating although it is turned off in a HEAT mode. | When the unit is turned off while de-ice is activated, the compressor continues operation for up to 9 minutes(maximum) until the deice is completed. |
| The compressor and indoor fan stop intermittently in HEAT mode. | The compressor and indoor fan stop intermittently if room temperature exceeds a setting temperature in order to protect the compressor from overheated air in a HEAT mode. |
| Indoor fan and outdoor fan stop operation intermittently in a HEAT mode. | The compressor operates in a reverse cycle to remove exterior ice in a HEAT mode, and indoor fan and outdoor fan do not operate intermittently for within 20% of the total heater operation |

| Information code | Meaning | Action |
|---|
| tc | Air temperature sensor issue | Clean the lint filter and/or heat exchanger filter. If this continues, call for service. |
| tC5 | Compressor temperature sensor issue | Wait 2-3 minutes. Turn the power on and restart. |
| dC | Running the dryer with door open | Close the door and restart. |
| | If this continues, call for service. |
| HC | Compressor overheat | Call for service. |
| 9C2 | Low voltage detected | Check if the power cord is plugged in. If this continues, call for service. |
| 5C | Water tank full Drain pump is out of order | Empty the water tank, turn the power on, and restart. If this continues, call for service. |
Samsung AEN160YDEHA Heat Pump Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible cause | Solution |
|---|
| Hot water is not coming out. | No power supply to the water heater | Check if there is any power on the power supply terminal on the thermostat. |
| The thermostat may be set too high and cause the fuse or safety cut-off to operate. | Reduce thermostat setting by 5°C and press the reset button. |
| Heating is not working | Heating element or internal electrical wiring is out of order. | Check if there is any power on the power supply on the connector of the heating element between black and yellow/green wires. If this is OK, press the reset button on the fuse/safety cut-off. |
| Water is not warm enough | Thermostat is set too low. | Adjust the thermostat up using a standard screwdriver. |
| Heating element or the internal electrical wiring is partially out of order. | Check the resistance of the heating element on the connector of the heater bundle, and the condition of the internal wiring. |
| UX mixing valve(fitted on top) is incorrectly adjusted. | Adjust the UX mixing valve correctly to the preferred temperature. |
| Safety valve(SV) is dripping. | Water expands when heated. If there is no consumption of hot water over a period of time pressure builds up, causing the safety valve to open. | If drip from the SV is severe, it might need to be replaced. Some dripping is normal. Alternatively an expansion vessel can be fitted. |
| Leak warning outlet is dripping. | The heating element may not be properly tightened. | Check the heating element o-ring seal and all connections. |
| Other problems, or if none of the above solves the problem. | There may be a leak. | Contact the installer/supplier regarding any other failure. |

| The air conditioner does not operate immediately after it has been restarted. | • Because of the protective mechanism, the appliance does not start operating immediately to keep the unit from overloading. |
| The air conditioner will start in 3 minutes. |
| The air conditioner does not work at all. | • Check that the power plug is property connected. Insert the power plug into the wall socket correctly. |
| • Check if the circuit breaker is switched off. |
| • Check if there is a power failure. |
| • Check your fuse. Make sure it is not blown out. |
| The temperature does not change. | • Check if you selected Fan mode. |
| Press the Mode button on the remote control to select another mode. |
| The cool (warm) air does not come out of the air conditioner. | • Check if the set temperature is higher (lower) than the current temperature. Press the Temperature button on the remote control to change the set temperature. Press the Temperature button to decrease or increase the temperature. |
| • Check if the air filter is blocked by dirt. Clean the air filter every two weeks. |
| • Check if the air conditioner has just been turned on. If so, wait 3 minutes. Cool air does not come out to protect the compressor of the outdoor unit. |
| • Check if the air conditioner is installed in a place with a direct exposure to sunlight. Hang curtains on windows to boost cooling efficiency. |
| • Check if the cover or any obstacle is not near the outdoor unit. |
| • Check if the refrigerant pipe is too long. |
| • Check if the air conditioner is only available in Cool mode. |
| • Check if the remote control is only available for cooling model. |
| The fan speed does not change. | • Check if you selected Auto or Dry mode. |
| The air conditioner automatically adjusts the fan speed to Auto in Auto/Dry mode. |
| Timer function does not set. | • Check if you press the Power button on the remote control after you have set the time. |
| Odors permeate in the room during operation. | • Check if the appliance is running in a smoky area or if there is a smell entering from outside. Operate the air conditioner in Fan mode or open the windows to air out the room. |
| The air conditioner makes a bubbling sound. | • A bubbling sound may be heard when the refrigerant is circulating through the compressor. Let the air conditioner operate in a selected mode. |
| • When you press the Power button on the remote control, noise may be heard from the drain pump inside the air conditioner. |
| Water is dripping from the airflow blades. | • Check if the air conditioner has been cooling for an extended period of time with the air flow blades pointed downwards. Condensation may generate due to the difference in temperature. |
| Remote control is not working. | • Check if your batteries are depleted. |
| • Make sure batteries are correctly installed. |
| • Make sure nothing is blocking your remote control sensor. |
| • Check that there are strong lighting apparatus near the air conditioner. Strong light which comes from fluorescent bulbs or neon signs may interrupt the electric waves. |
| The air conditioner does not turn on or off with the wired remote control. | • Check if you set the wired remote control for group control. |
| The wired remote control does not operate. | • Check if TEST indicator is displayed on the wired remote control. If so, turn off the unit and switch off the circuit breaker. Call your nearest contact center. |
