TROUBLESHOOTING
For ease of service, the systems are equipped with diagnostic code
display LEDs on both the indoor and outdoor units. The outdoor
diagnostic display is two LEDs (Red and Green) on the outdoor
unit board and is limited to very few errors. The indoor diagnostic
display is a combination of flashing LEDs on the display panel or
the front of the unit. If possible, always check the diagnostic codes
displayed on the indoor unit first.
The diagnostic codes displayed in the indoor and outdoor units are
listed in the tables below.
