5. Overload and high discharge temperature malfunction
Main detection points:
S Is the electronic expansion valve connected to the board?
S Is the electronic expansion valve damaged?
S Do you have a refrigerant leak?
S Is the compressor overload protection terminal connected
to the mainboard?
S Is the overload protector damaged?

H3 or E4 is displayed
30min after power off the unit
If the overload protector SAT 
      is well connected?
                    Under ambient temperature, 
test the resistance of overload protector with ohmmeter; 
                resistance value should be<1000ohm
Is the plug connecting the EEV to the  
control board connected securely?
 Replace EEV coil of electronic expansion valve
Check the refrigerant; if there is leakage, charge
 the refrigerant according to the service manual
Compressor overload protection terminal is not 
connected with the mainboard; reconnect 
them correctly
Heat exchange of unit is not good (heat exchanger 
is dirty. Clean the heat exchanger 
 
 Ambient temperature is too high. Unit turns on
when the ambient temperature lowers.
