Hi, my dimplex portable ac has been stored for a couple of years, it now does not cool the air at all and is showing E4 despite the drain being completely dry.

Hi Catherine, thank you for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear about this. Based on what you have described if the instructions for E4 have been followed including the tilting to ensure they is no water you might want to check there are no blockages from the time been stored. Thanks

Thank you, The filters are clean and I can see no exhaust blockage, how else should I check for blockages? Thank you again

Hi Catherine, if dry check that the water container, it may be not sitting right or if it has any obstruction, If error code E4 persists you may require a technician to take a loo at it, Thanks

Hi , I bought a DC15 second hand today and I've tasted it before buying it and it was working well. after I took it home and set it up it worked for 5 minutes and turned off! when i am turning on the machine it turns of in 1 second and all the lights turn on and after 5 second everything switch off. There is no loose wire i have already checked. I read the manual and it was saying it could be overheating and it will be reseted after 30 minutes. I came back to it after an hour and still the same thing happens. can you please tell what is the reason for that?

Dimplex
Dimplex   DM   

Hi Morteza, thank you for your question and I'm sorry to hear of this. Based on what you have described you may want to check the timer as this will turn it off automatically. If not it may that it is overheating. Last to check is the location of the air conditioner and running temperature within the manual instructions. Thanks

Hi. Bought second hand DC 15 portable air conditioner. Worked well. Now it's just blowing cool air and doesn't show room temperature or cuts in. What's wrong lol

Dimplex
Dimplex   DM   

Hi Nise, Thank you for your question. As per the manual you can try the below: Problem Cause Solution: The air conditioner does not operate. -No power supply >Connect to a functioning power supply socket and switch on. -Error code E4 or water drain warning indictor is displayed, indicating the internal water container is full > Empty the internal water container. -The start timer function is active > Press the POWER button to deactivate the TIMER function. Thanks

If I want to dehumidify my room with the portable aircon, which drainage hole should I use the bottom black drain or the middle white drain? It doesn’t make it clear on the notes. Thank you

Dimplex
Dimplex   DM   

Hi Cassy, thank you for your question. When heating or dehumidification functions are used the upper drain plug must be removed and the drain hose attached. Thanks

Thanks for nothing, yous are the makers and warranty supplier you should know if they are alright after sitting around for more then 5yrs , your sale office said the gas would have evaporated, the local installer said moisture may have damaged the circuit boards and you say contact the people selling old warehouse stock as new setting you up for 5yrs of warranty call outs, thanks again, don't worry I'm getting my money back and will never buy dimplex

Hi Cecil, I’m sorry to hear of this. As your question did not highlight any other issue I could not provide any further details to you. With such products we would normally refer the buyer back to the retailer if there is an issue. It seems this is the case for you. I will reach out to you directly to get some additional information. Thanks

Hi, I bought the Dimplex DCPAC12C 3.5kw White Portable Air Conditioner, just wondering if it should have come with a drain pipe or do I just buy one the correct size and attach it to the back of the portable where it says so?

Where do I find the drain tray? I can’t see it anywhere

They do have a plug to empty the water that I connect a hose with just not a drip tray.

Is the dc15rbw cost effective to run electricity wise?

Dimplex
Dimplex   DM   

Hi Pam, The DC15RCBW is a 4.4W Reverse Cycle Portable Air Conditioner with Dehumidifier. Please refer to your electricity provider for your kilowatt per hour cost and then multiply it by 4.4 and that will give you the cost per hour to run this machine.

Pam Duffy

Why is the tube condentationg on the outside of the tube dripping on carpet it is not sealing when on heat mode.

Dimplex
Dimplex   DM   

Hi piratemum, The condensation on the outside is usually due to the surrounding air. Please call our Technical Department on 1300 556 816 to discuss further.

Hi there , I have just bought the dc15 and it can't seem to cool down a small room ? I am a little disappointed . It seems to blow cool air briefly then just fan air ? Please help

Dimplex
Dimplex   DM   

Hello Nato, Assuming the following> *that the unit is set for cooling rather than either dehumidify or heating ie displaying the snowflake symbol *that the display is holding solid (rather than continuing to flash as it will until the compressor engages) *the exhaust hose is placed correctly so that the hot air is being vented outside *the unit is being operated on a flat, firm surface with the drain plug in place *filters are clean with no dirt or particulates visible *air inlet and outlets are clear and unblocked *the unit is not situated in direct sunlight *the room being cooled is closed up as much as possible ie doors & windows closed, blinds/ curtains drawn etc If all the above are true and cold air cannot be felt coming from the front vents, you are able to return your product to the store for replacement within the 24 month warranty period offered by the manufacturer (as long you can verify purchase details by showing original invoice).

Hi, I have a Dimplex DC15 that is leaking water from underneath the unit. The drain plug/s are not leaking however when I remove the lower plug a considerable amount of water is released but this is nothing compared to the amount of water that has leaked onto my carpet. Are there rubber hoses within the unit for cooling the system that could be cracked?

Dimplex
Dimplex   DM   

Hello Drew Please ensure that the unit is run on a firm and level surface with the drain plug fitted at all times. Also ensure that the filters are clean with no dust or particulates present around the air intake of the appliance. The internal water reservoir may become full if you are experiencing especially humid weather, if this is the case, you should ensure that this is emptied when the relevant symbol/ error code is displayed. If all of this has been done and the unit is still leaking from the base, you may simply require a maintenance service. Please feel free to contact us on 1300 556 816

Mine is 4yr old unit just started doing the same. Minimal water coming out of the lower plug, but the unit is leaking from underneath and it’s more water than I’ve ever seen from the normal draining. It’s like a flood. I’d estimate about 10- 20 litres of water depending on how long it’s on for. No info in the troubleshooting guide either. Should the top drain (6 in the guide) be emptied as well?

Dimplex
Dimplex   DM   

Hi Ness2018. The drain hose in the exhaust tube is only in model DC12RC so not relevant to your model if it is the DC15. If you have followed the advise above and the unit is still leaking perhaps you could take it to a small appliance repair or air conditioning repairer in your area to investigate further.

Hi Janry, Please take your DC15 back to place of purchase with the purchase receipt and they will be able to replace it for you provided you are still within the 2 year warranty period
