E4 FROST PROBE SHORT: Replace board.

E5 INDOOR PROBE OPEN: Replace board.

E6 INDOOR PROBE SHORT: Replace board.

NOTE: All Error Code displays for Frost & Indoor Probe will allow unit to operate. Unit may or will ice up if faulty components not replaced.

FROST PROBE SENSOR: disables compressor at 35° F.

INDOOR PROBE SENSOR: Control range is 60° F to 90° F +/- 2° F.

Indoor temperature will be displayed by pressing: (QME units) The Fan Speed button and the Warmer button. (XQ units) The Fan Speed button and the Temp Up button.

Once power is restored to the unit there is a two second delay before the fan comes on and approximately three minutes delay before the compressor is activated, providing that the mode was set for cooling and the set point temperature has not been met in the room.
