Frequently Asked Questions - ARC-13PG Whynter

How do I install the exhaust hose and window kit?
Attach the exhaust hose to the back of the unit using the round connector. Extend the hose at least 6" and connect the other end to the window slide bar kit placed in the window. Adjust the slide bars to cover the window opening fully and close the window to hold them in place. For sliding doors, use the rectangle connector. Ensure the hose is not crushed or bent.
How often should I clean the air filter?
Clean the air filter when the display shows the F1 error code or at least every 2 weeks under normal use. To clean, remove the filter, vacuum or rinse with warm water (below 100°F), dry thoroughly, and reinsert. Never operate without the filter.
How do I drain the condensed water?
Turn off and unplug the unit. Place a shallow container under the drain plug at the back of the unit. Remove the drain plug and allow water to drain. When the container is full, replace the plug and empty the container. Repeat until water stops. Tilt the unit slightly backward to remove all water. Reinsert the plug firmly.
What does the F1 error code mean and how to reset it?
The F1 code indicates the air filter needs cleaning. After cleaning and reinstalling the filter, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to reset. A beep confirms reset. The F1 message may not disappear immediately but does not affect cooling performance.
My remote control isn't working. What should I do?
Check the batteries: remove the back cover and replace both LR03 AAA 1.5V batteries (included). Ensure correct polarity. Remove any obstacles between the remote and the unit. Other appliances with remotes or fluorescent lamps may cause interference. Keep the distance under 26 feet.
Why is the unit noisy?
Ensure the unit is placed on a hard, level, and stable surface. Uneven floors can cause vibration. Low voltage may also increase noise. If the compressor is running, fan speed differences are less noticeable; test in Fan Only mode to hear speed changes.
Why is water leaking from the unit?
Check that the unit is level. If tilted, water may leak. Also, the internal water tank may be full: drain the water by removing the drain plug at the back. Ensure the drain plug is securely inserted after draining.
The room is not cooling enough even after long operation.
Make sure all windows and doors are closed. Check for direct sunlight - close curtains or blinds. The room may be too large for the unit's capacity (max 420 sq ft). If there are many people or heat-producing appliances, additional cooling may be needed. Also verify the filter is clean and the exhaust hose is not obstructed.
Does the unit have an auto restart after a power outage?
Yes, the Whynter ARC-13PG features auto restart. If power is interrupted, the unit will resume operation with the previous settings once power is restored.
What is covered under the warranty?
The unit carries a 1-year limited warranty on parts and labor, and a 3-year warranty on the compressor. It covers defects in material and workmanship under normal use. Does not cover damage from misuse, unauthorized repairs, acts of God, or freight costs. Contact Whynter at 866-WHYNTER or service@whynter.com.
