Why does my new portable arctic king air conditioner keep stopping?

Hello. You might check with the manufacturer since your device is new it’s probably still under warranty. Hopefully they can walk you through and troubleshoot your air conditionersoperation.

Yes, check with the customer service people (probably listed in your instructions) as quickly as possible. They can help you and possibly talk you through a solution or maybe even have you send the conitioner in for a new replacement.

If you call the company, they have a customer service hot line to answer your questions and concerns. Tell them what is happening with your air conditioner. Please have the make and model numbers ready.

It might be that it shuts off because it thinks it's reached the desired temperature in the room. Your best bet is to call the manufacturer though or check their website for answers.

look at the manual if you have it I found out on my portable unit last night that it was set on automatic and not cool and that was what I needed to do is switch to cool

Hello, your AC unit has a thermostat, it will shut off when it reaches the temperature you set it to, some units still run the fan when the temp is met, and some shut right off until they need to cool again

Does it have a temperature setting? If so you may have set the temperature too high and it will automatically shut off at that temperature. You should have received an owners manual. Check there. If there is no information return for a new one.

It might be the setting it's on. Check your owner's manual or call the manufacturer.

The water is probably full check it eather hook a hose up to the drainage flow or just keep dumping the bucket out I use a cookie sheet under my ac and drain some at a time then dump in a bucket

Thanks for all the help! I spoke with customer service and they mentioned to leave it unplugged for 24 h. Apparently I wasn’t supposed to turn it on right as soon as it came out of the box? I’ll try plugging it in tomorrow and see if it works. Otherwise I’ll have to try something else. My room is small but once it shuts off it gets hot again :/

Call the manufacturer.... could it be shutting off cause its over-heating?

im not sure about that. the portable ac doesn't feel hot itself

it still seems to turn off and on randomly. not sure if its because it senses that the room is cool enough? but i woke up this morning still kind of warm and i set the timer but it didn't seem to follow it...
