Why Is My GE Window Air Conditioner Beeping?
Why Is My GE Window Air Conditioner Beeping?
GE Window Air Conditioner keeps beeping because when the power cord is connected, it is normal for an air conditioner (window/built-in) to beep once. All of the lights in the display are turned on, and for 2 seconds, double “8s” will appear in the LED display. If there is no other operation to perform, the lights are turned off.
If there is a problem, double “8s” will flash in the LED display and the lights do not go off. If you need to turn the unit off, double “8s” will flash in the LED display. To turn it on again, press and hold the desired set button for 3 seconds. The display will count down from 10 to 0 as if it were turning itself off.
If you need to adjust or change operating temperature controls, press and hold the temperature button for 2 seconds. The appropriate indoor temperature setting will appear in the LED display.
If the indoor temperature setting is at a higher or lower level than you want, rotate the temperature control knob to the right or left and then press the desired set button for 3 seconds. The display will count down from 10 to 0 as if it were setting itself to cool / heat and then return to normal set mode.
In addition, if the unit has been turned off and then back on, it is normal to hear a short alarm tone. The system will sound the buzzer for about 4 seconds when you turn on your air conditioner.
If there are no problems with your air conditioner, the noises usually go away after a few minutes. If it still beeps or blinks the error code on your display, please contact GE customer service to request troubleshooting assistance or repair parts.
Can You Put An Air Conditioner In A Bathroom Window?
Yes. Installing an air conditioner or a dehumidifier in the bathroom is a simple way to quickly and effectively remove ambient humidity. However, a bathroom exhaust fan also works well. There are some easy ways to achieve this, such as:
Putting a small window air conditioner on the side of the bathroom window using a small bracket. The air conditioner can be placed at least 2 feet away from the exhaust fan and should have a minimum BTU rating of 1,000 BTUs. Keep in mind that larger models that meet these requirements will likely cost more than smaller ones.
Uncoupling your bathroom ventilation system and installing an exhaust fan directly above your shower head or sink. Remove your old flapper or damper and leave it off until it gets too much moisture.
Vertical air conditioners can be used in the window. However, you need to make sure that the area behind the window is vented to keep humidity levels down. If it isn’t, there is a good possibility that condensation will form on the window pane, and mold will grow underneath it or in your bathroom.
You should also make sure that you choose an air conditioner made for installation in a bathroom window so that it doesn’t weigh too much or become unstable when wet. An air conditioner has to be installed so that the continuous airflow is directed towards the outside of the window, and not inwards into your bathroom.
The wall should be at least 8 inches thick so that as soon as you turn on the air conditioner, it will dry out the area of your window. However, you need to make sure that there is enough space for both an exhaust vent and fan filters on your windowsill.
