Check points

code

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

Abnormality of room temper-

1)

Bad contact of thermistor

1)

Check the thermistor.

 

ature thermistor (RT1)

2)

Damaged thermistor

2) Measure the resistance of the thermistor.

 

 

 

 

 

Normal resistance should be as follows.

 

 

 

 

 

32°F····15kΩ

86°F·····4.3kΩ

 

 

 

 

 

50°F······9.6kΩ 104°F·····3.0kΩ

 

 

 

 

 

68°F······6.3kΩ

 

2

Abnormality of indoor coil

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the resistance is normal, replace the indoor

 

thermistor (RT2)

 

 

 

controller board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4

Abnormality of drain sensor

1) Bad contact of transmission

1)

Check the connector.

 

 

 

wire

2)

Measure the resistance of the thermistor

 

 

2)

Damaged thermistor

 

(between - of CN50).

 

 

 

 

 

As for the normal resistance, refer to the case

 

 

 

 

 

of 1.

 

 

 

 

 

If the resistance is normal, replace the indoor con-

 

 

 

 

troller board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5

Malfunction of drain pump

1)

Malfunction of drain pump

1) Check the drain pump.

 

 

2)

Damaged drain sensor

2) Check the drain sensor.

 

 

 

 

 

Check the drain sensor heater. Normal resis-

 

 

 

 

 

tance should be 82Ω . (between 1 - 3of

 

 

 

 

 

CN50).

 

 

 

 

 

If the resistance is normal, replace the indoor con-

 

 

 

 

troller board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6

Coil frost protection is work-

1)

Short cycle of air cycle

1)

Clear obstructions from the air cycle.

 

ing.

2)

Dirty air filter

2)

Clean the air filter

 

 

3)

Damaged fan

3)

Check the fan.

 

 

 

4) Abnormal refrigerant

4)

Check the refrigerant temperature.

 

 

 

 

 

8

Abnormality in outdoor unit

1) Wrong wiring of indoor/outdoor

1)

Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire.

 

 

 

connecting wire

2)

Change the connection of electric wiring.

 

 

2)

Reversed phase

3)

Check the protection device.

 

 

3)

Protection device is working

4)

Measure the resistance of the outdoor coil ther-

 

 

4) Damaged outdoor coil thermis-

 

mistor. If the resistance is normal, replace the

 

 

 

tor

 

outdoor controller board.
