Frequently Asked Questions - LRA12HZU2 FRIGIDAIRE

What does the 'HS' error code mean on the display?
The 'HS' code indicates a sensor failure. Contact your authorized Frigidaire service center for repair.
How do I clean the air filter?
Open the front panel, pull the filter up and out. Wash with warm water and mild dish soap, rinse, and dry thoroughly before reinserting. Vacuuming is also an option.
How do I use the timer function?
Press the TIMER button, then use the up/down arrows to set the delay (0.5 hour increments up to 10 hours, then 1 hour increments up to 24 hours). For delay stop, the unit must be on; for delay start, it must be off.
What is the Energy Saver mode?
In Energy Saver mode, the fan runs for 1 minute after the compressor stops, then cycles on for 20 seconds every 10 minutes until the room requires cooling again. This reduces energy consumption.
Why is my air conditioner not cooling properly?
Check if the filter is dirty, the temperature setting is too high, the room is too hot (allow time to cool), or if the unit is blocked by curtains/furniture. Also ensure the vent is closed during cooling.
Why is ice forming on the cooling coils?
Ice can form if outdoor temperature is below 60°F (16°C), the filter is dirty, or the temperature is set too low for nighttime cooling. Set to FAN ONLY to defrost, then clean the filter and raise the temperature.
How does the Sleep mode work?
After activation, the temperature increases by 2°F (1°C) after 30 minutes, then another 2°F after another 30 minutes. It stays at that higher temperature for 7 hours before returning to the original set point.
How do I replace the remote control battery?
Turn the remote upside down, squeeze the tab and pull to remove the battery tray. Insert a new CR2025 battery with the positive (+) side facing up, then reinsert the tray.
What is the RESET button on the power cord for?
The RESET button is part of the current detection device (GFCI). After plugging in, press TEST (the RESET button should pop out), then press RESET to restore power. If it fails to reset, replace the cord.
How can I change the temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius?
The control can display both °F and °C. To switch, refer to the manual section 'To Change Temperature Display' (typically by pressing a combination of buttons, though not explicitly detailed in this manual).

Note: For Delay Stop, the unit must be in the On position.

Note: For Delay Start, the unit must be in the Off position.

First, Press TIMER button, then adjust timer setting, tap or hold the UP arrow (A) or the DOWN arrow (V) to change delay timer at 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours, then at 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The control will count down the time remaining until start (8, 7.5, 7, etc.). The Delay Start Operation automatically selects cooling with maximum Fan speed (if Cool, Energy Saver, or Fan Only was the last mode selected) or heating with maximum Fan speed (if Heat was the last mode selected. Note: On 115V models only low speed can be selected.) The temperature maintained will be the same as previously set. To change the set temperature, press "COOL" then Up or Down arrows until the desired temperature is indicated on the display. After 5 seconds, the control will automatically change the display back to the hours remaining until the unit will start/stop. Pressing the unit On/Off button at any time will cancel the Delay Start/Stop function. The Delay Start/Stop Feature will work until the unit either starts or stops. Once that happens the above steps have to be repeated again.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar with.

FRIGIDAIRE LRA12HZU2 - ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW - 1

- The "Cool" circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.

FRIGIDAIRE LRA12HZU2 - ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW - 2

  • There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY/HEAT. This is to cover the possibility of having to roll through to select another mode.
  • The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60F and 90F degrees (in cool mode), 55F and 80F degrees (in heat mode).
    • After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.

Fresh Air Vent Control (on some models - 15\~28.5K BTU)

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.

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.

Energy Saving Ideas

SAVE MONEY SAVE ENERGY

  • Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
  • The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory operation.
    • Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
  • Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up the chimney and into the duct work.
  • Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
  • Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning".
  • Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool air in.
  • External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner's work load.
  • Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
