Possible Causes
Partially closed air louvers, Blocked air filters, High fan speed through small outlet, Normal refrigerant expansion noise in certain modes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Steps:
- Check louvers: Adjust horizontal and vertical louvers to a more open position to reduce air velocity.
- Clean filters: Dirty filters increase air velocity and noise; clean them thoroughly.
- Fan speed: Reduce fan speed from High to Medium or Low and see if noise decreases.
- Normal operation: Mild hissing during mode changes or defrost is often normal refrigerant flow noise. If the noise is very loud or accompanied by performance issues, have a technician check system pressures.
