1.Frigidaire Air Conditioner Error Codes
These instructions are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance.
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|

2. PTAC AC Error Codes
Your Frigidaire PTAC has a computer on-board that continuously checks key components of the unit to ensure they are operating properly. Under normal operation, unit status indicator (STATUS, on main PCB), light is steadily ON. If there is a major problem, the unit will shut down and display a diagnostic failure code on the unit’s display. If it is a minor error and the unit can correct it by itself, the diagnostic code will be flashed on the status LED that can easily be seen when the front panel is removed. Failure STATUS codes are defined in the table below.
| Failure Codes | Problem |
|---|---|
| F1 | Indoor air temp sensor open/short. 8-segment display ‘F1’, with STATUS light flash 1 times and off 3 sec, repeat. |
| F2 | Indoor coil sensor open or short. 8-segment display ‘F2’, with STATUS light flash 2 times and off 3 sec, repeat. |
| F4 | Outdoor coil sensor open/short. 8-segment display ‘F4’, with STATUS light flash 3 times and off 3 sec, repeat. |
| FP | Freeze Guard protection. 8-segment display ‘FP’. |
| Indoor coil freeze protection | STATUS light flash 5 times and off 3 sec, repeat. |
| Outdoor coil high temp protection | STATUS light flash 6 times and off 3 sec, repeat. |

4. Frigidaire Dehumidifier Error Codes
Fault Codes:
1. If the display reads “F1”, “F2” or “L1” error codes, please turn off and unplug the unit, then plug it in again in 30 minutes. If the unit malfunctions again, please contact your Authorized Frigidaire Service Center.
2.If the display reads “F0” , check the following operating conditions. Outlet voltage should be 115V±10% and the surrounding temperature should be with in the range of 41 °F (5 °C) to 90 °F (32 °C). Unplug the unit and plug it in again under normal operating conditions. If the “F0” code persists, contact your Authorized Frigidaire Service Center.
3.To turn the unit on, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will run in the factory setting of CONTINUOUS and high fan speed. In the CONTINUOUS mode, the unit will only display CO and not the room humidity. It is recommended you leave the unit running in the CONTINUOUS setting for the first three or four days until the sweating and dampness odors have stopped.
4.After a few days when the Relative Humidity has declined, press the HUMIDITY + or – buttons to choose a value
between 35% to 85%, so the room is kept at a comfortable humidity. Pressing the + or – buttons will change the
humidity selection in 5% increments. After you have set the desired humidity, the readout will display the actual
room humidity. If at any time you want to return to the CONTINUOUS Mode, pressing the HUMIDITY + button
will lower the Relative Humidity through the 5% decrements until the display reads CO.
When unit is in operation, pressing + and – button will simultaneously for 3 seconds can lock buttons. If this function is enabled, LOCK indicator will illuminate and display shows LC, which will blink for 3 times. Then room humidity will be display again. To disable this function, press + and – button simultaneously for 3 seconds and the LOCK indicator will turn off.

5.Care and Cleaning
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning:
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
- Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed position(where applicable).
- Open the front panel.
- Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
- Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
- Or instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter clean.
NOTE: When replacing the air filter after cleaning, make sure the tabs on the air filter are on the upper part of filter, and placed outward as shown in the drawing on the left side.
Cabinet Cleaning:
- Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
- Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
- Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
- Plug in air conditioner.
Winter Storage:
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton.
