Frequently Asked Questions - ARC-08WB Whynter

What does the 'P1' error code mean?

The 'P1' error indicates the bottom water tank is full. You need to drain the water manually or run the unit in Fan Only mode to evaporate the water. After draining, the error will clear.

How do I clean the air filters?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove the upper and lower air filters by pulling them out. Use a vacuum or tap to remove dust, then rinse under warm/cold water (max 100°F). Dry thoroughly before reinserting.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, do not use an extension cord or power strip. The unit must be plugged directly into a grounded wall outlet. The LCDI plug provides safety and should be tested monthly.

How often should I replace the activated carbon filter?

It is recommended to replace the activated carbon filter every 2-3 months, or more frequently if used in smoky or odorous environments.

The unit is not cooling enough. What could be wrong?

Check if windows and doors are closed. Ensure the exhaust hose is properly installed and not bent. Clean the air filters. The set temperature may be too high; lower it to at least 5°F below room temperature. Also, make sure the unit is not in a room too large for its capacity.

How do I set the timer to turn on/off automatically?

To set timer off: while unit is on, press TIMER, then use UP/DOWN to set hours (0.5-24). To set timer on: with unit off, press TIMER, then set hours. To cancel, press TIMER again or set to 0.0.

What is the maximum length for the exhaust hose?

The exhaust hose should not exceed 9 feet in total length. Extending beyond this will reduce cooling efficiency. The included hose is 5 feet; if you need longer, contact Whynter for an optional 4' extension.

Can I use the unit without the exhaust hose?

No, the exhaust hose is required in Cool and Auto modes to expel hot air. In Dry or Fan Only modes, the hose can be removed as no exhaust is needed.

What does the Sleep mode do?

In Sleep mode (Cooling), the temperature increases by 2°F after 30 minutes, then another 2°F after another 30 minutes, and stays for 7 hours. This reduces noise and saves energy while preventing over-cooling.

How do I change the temperature scale from Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Press and hold the Up and Down buttons on the control panel simultaneously for 3 seconds to toggle between °F and °C.
