How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Check room temperature: Verify the room is within the operating range listed in the Sharp manual (typically 5–35°C). Move the unit to a suitable room if necessary.
  • Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes and restart.
  • Sensor check: If the room temperature is normal but U1 persists, inspect the ambient temperature sensor near the intake grille for damage or misplacement. Reposition or replace as needed.
