Q: QuestionThis unit is for my elderly mother with no internet at her home. Can this unit be run like an old-fashion window air conditioner without internet (no bells and whistles)? Can we just install and plug it in and turn it on?
Asked by Jeff.
- A:Answer Connectivity can add convenience to the experience of using the air conditioner, but you can certainly choose to use the air conditioner without connecting if that’s better for your mother! The air conditioner can be operated without connecting to Wi-Fi. -Sarah@GEAppliances

Q: QuestionI have owned this unit less than a month and it's quite what do I do?
Asked by Glenn.
- A:Answer The power cord on your air conditioner has a circuit interrupter device on it. Press the reset button on the cord and check to see if the unit will run. If you have not already done so, disconnect power to your air conditioner for 2-3 minutes to reset the electronics. If the unit will not run and you have checked to ensure your outlet is still working properly, contact your dealer about returning the unit for an exchange. If you are past their exchange period, please call 1-866-907-1655 for warranty assistance. - Vikki@GEAppliances

Q: QuestionJust got this brand new and it's not blowing cold air. It's set to cool, fan high, and temp is at 64. It's basically just a fan. What am I missing?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer An air conditioner may not cool properly due to restricted airflow, incorrect temperature settings, a dirty filter, a hot starting room, cold air escaping, or iced‑up cooling coils. For ways to troubleshoot this issue, see the “Air conditioner does not cool as it should” section on page 13 of the Owner’s Manual, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website. -- If those tips don’t help, see page 17 of the Owner’s Manual for warranty exchange information.

Q: QuestionIs this a super quiet air conditioner?
Asked by Poochie.
- A:Answer Much quieter then say a box fan, it is noisy if you decide to leave the plug in as the fan will hit the water that drips from condensation so the water keeps it cool (it's more efficient with the plug in) but if you want quiet over effectiveness then just pull the plug and you will just have a fan noise. We have ours right next to us and can hear the TV fine with it on.
