The unit is waiting for
the compressor overload
protector to reset.
Power failure.
The current interrupter

Indoor airflow

Outdoor airflow is

What To Do
• Make sure the Zoneline plug is pushed completely
into the outlet.
• Remove the room cabinet and make sure that the
yellow connector on the end of the power cord is
firmly engaged.
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace
the fuse or reset the breaker.
• This is normal. The Zoneline will start again after
it resets.
• If power failure occurs, set the mode control to STOP.
When power is restored, set the mode control to the
desired setting.
• There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to
prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this
reason, the unit may not start normal heating or cooling
for 3 minutes after it is turned back on.
• Press the RESET button located on the power cord plug
or the box near the plug.
• If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use
of the Zoneline and contact a qualified service technician.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the front of the Zoneline.
• Make sure the rear grille is not restricted. This can
cause the unit to cycle off due to the compressor
overload protector.
• Outdoor grille must have a minimum of 65% free area.
Non-GE grilles may be too restrictive for proper
performance. Consult your salesperson for assistance.
• Turn the control to a lower or higher setting.
NOTE: The temperature limiter may be limiting the
temperature range.
• Clean the filter at least every 30 days.
See the Operating Instructions section.
• When the Zoneline is first turned on you need to
allow time for the room to cool down or warm up.
• Set the vent control to the closed position.
• This can cause a "burning" odor at the beginning of
the heating operation. This odor should quickly fade.
