Method of
Malfunction
Detection
The discharge pipe temperature control (stop, frequency drooping, etc.) is checked with the
temperature being detected by the discharge pipe thermistor.
Malfunction
Decision
Conditions
If a stop takes place 6 times successively due to abnormal discharge pipe temperature, the
system will be shut down.
If the temperature being detected by the discharge pipe thermistor rises above 248°F, the
compressor will stop. (The error is cleared when the temperature has dropped below 225°F.)
Stop temperatures (variable by models)
(1) 230°F : above 45Hz (rising), above 40Hz (dropping)
(2) 216°F : 30~45Hz (rising), 25~40Hz (dropping)
(3) 208°F : below 30Hz (rising), below 25Hz (dropping)
The error counter will reset itself if this or any other error does not occur during the following 60-
minute compressor running time (total time).
Supposed
Causes
Refrigerant shortage
Four way valve malfunctioning
Discharge pipe thermistor defective
(heat exchanger or outdoor temperature thermistor defective)
Outdoor unit PCB defective
Water mixed in the local piping
Electronic expansion valve defective
Stop valve defective
