Brand new right out of box Everstar MPK-10CR-1 portable 10,000 BTU's

Set up and ducted but will only run between 20 seconds and 2 minutes. Then the unit shuts down. If I press the start button again a wait of 1 to 5 minutes takes place and then it starts and runs for 20 seconds to 2 minutes. If I don't press the start it will keep on shutting off by itself and restarting after a pause of several minutes all night long. I know it isn't a Danby but, I thought you migyht know.
Thanks,
John

It sounds to me like it is overheating. Make sure that all of the literature that came with the unit is accounted for. Many times the manual or instructions are blocking the exhaust causing it to overheat. If this is not the problem then I would suggest exchanging it for a new one. It may be a manufacturer defect.

Everstar Model MPK 10CR What does flashing P2 mean



Quoting:

Everstar Model MPK-10CR, What does flashing P2 mean?
I have a manual and it only talks about the error, P1, when the water container is for. Says nothing about P2. The unit will just completely shut off and then the red light is flashing and P2 appears in the window.

The filter that allows the water to get to the pump is clogged. Since the pump can't pump the water into the drain bucket, it fills the bottom pan up, the unit shuts down, and the P2 error code is then displayed. Posted on Jun 29, 2011

    Where is the filter that is full that is not allowing the water to drain into the drain bucket, and is it something that can be cleaned? w_benjamin Jun 30, 2011
    It should be near the pump that pumps the water up to the drain bucket. Each model is different, on my Everstar it was located under the housing for the drain bucket. The back and front of the unit needed to be removed, then the housing for the drain bucket needed to be removed. Not that hard, but a lot of screws. Take it out, then clean it with some dish washing detergent.

call in an electrician as there is a problem in the circuit allowing power from a neutral line and bypassing the switch
