Frequently Asked Questions - GHPC132AB1 FRIGIDAIRE

What does the P1 error code mean and how do I fix it?
The P1 code indicates that the condensate tank is full or the drainage is blocked. Turn off the unit, unplug it, and drain the water from the continuous or bottom drain outlet. After draining, reset the unit by plugging it in and pressing the RESET button on the plug. If the error persists, contact Frigidaire service.
How often should I clean the air filters?
Clean the filters every week of operation. The unit has two washable filters (Filter A and B). Remove them, wash with mild detergent and warm water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before reinstalling. A filter reset light will illuminate after 250 hours to remind you.
Can I use an extension cord with this air conditioner?
No. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug. The unit must be plugged directly into a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle. Using an extension cord can cause fire or electric shock.
How do I set up the exhaust hose and window kit?
Attach connector B to the unit, extend the hose to the desired length (minimum length recommended), and connect connector A to the window slider kit. Place the slider kit in the window, seal with foam seals, and secure with screws. Ensure the hose has no sharp bends or sags.
What is the Sleep mode and how does it work?
Sleep mode gradually adjusts the temperature for comfortable sleeping. In Cool mode, the set temperature increases by 2°F after 30 minutes, then another 2°F after another 30 minutes, and maintains that for 7 hours before returning to the original set temperature. The fan speed is set to Auto and cannot be changed. It is not available in Fan or Dry mode.
How do I activate the ionizer?
The ionizer can only be activated via the Frigidaire app on your smartphone. Download the app, connect your air conditioner to Wi-Fi, and use the controls to turn the ionizer on or off. It cannot be controlled from the remote or unit panel.
Why is the unit making a gurgling or hissing noise?
This is normal. It is the sound of refrigerant flowing through the evaporator during operation. High-efficiency compressors may also produce a high-pitched chatter. If the noise is excessive, ensure the unit is on a level surface.
What should I do if the unit displays 'AS', 'E4', or 'ES'?
These are fault codes. 'AS' means the room temperature sensor is faulty, 'E4' indicates a communication error between display and main PCBs, and 'ES' means the pipe temperature sensor is defective. Contact an authorized Frigidaire service center for repair. Do not attempt to fix it yourself.
How do I drain the unit for winter storage?
Turn off and unplug the unit. Place a drip tray under the continuous drain outlet, unscrew the drain cap to let water out. Then remove the rubber stopper from the bottom drain outlet. Tilt the unit forward to ensure all residual water drains. Replace caps and stoppers when done.
What is the warranty coverage?
The unit comes with a 1-year limited warranty from the date of purchase for functional repairs. Electrolux pays for parts and labor. After one year, the consumer pays for diagnostic, labor, and parts. The warranty does not cover misuse, cosmetic damage, or products with altered serial numbers.

  • Be aware that the refrigerants may not contain an odour.
  • Compliance with national gas regulations shall be observed.

  • Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

  • The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance) and ignition sourcesor (for example:an operating electric heater) close to the appliance. The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
  • The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.
  • A warning that the appliance shall be stored in a well-ventilated area where the room size corresponds to the room area as specified for operation.
  • Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit should hold a current valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorises their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry recognised assessment specification.
  • Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.
  • DO NOT modify the length of the power cord or use an extension cord to power the unit.
  • DO NOT share a single outlet with other electrical appliances. Improper power supply can cause fire or electrical shock.
  • Please follow the instruction carefully to handle, install, clear, service the air conditioner to avoid any damage or hazard. Flammable Refrigerant R32 is used within air conditioner. When maintaining or disposing the air conditioner, the refrigerant (R32 or R290) shall be recovered properly, shall not discharge to air directly.

  • No any open fire or device like switch which may generate spark/arcing shall be around air conditioner to avoid causing ignition of the flammable refrigerant used. Please follow the instruction carefully to store or maintain the air conditioner to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.

  • Flammable refrigerant - R32 is used in air conditioner. Please follow the instruction carefully to avoid any hazard.
