How to fix P1 error?

When the water level of the lower tray reaches a predetermined level, the unit beeps 8 times, the digital display area showing P1. At this time the air conditioning / dehumidification process will stop immediately. However, the fan motor will continue to operate (this is normal). Carefully move the unit to a drain location, remove the bottom drain plug and remove the water drain (Fig.24). Restart the machine until the P1 symbol disappears. If the error repeats, call for service.

During dehumidifying mode, remove the drain plug from the back of the unit, install the drain connector (5/8 ”universal female connector) with 3/4” hose (purchased locally). For models without a drain connector, simply attach the drain hose to the hole. Place the open end of the tube directly on the drain area in your basement. Please refer to Fig.22 and 23.

Note: When operating or water drain always protects the carpet or floor from possible water leakage.
