Indoor ambient 
temperature sensor is
open/short circuited
F1
During cooling and drying operation, indoor 
unit operates while other loads will stop; during 
heating operation, the complete unit will stop 
operation.
1. Loosening or bad contact of indoor ambient 
temp. sensor and mainboard terminal.
2. Components in mainboard fell down leads 
short circuit.
3. Indoor ambient temp. sensor damaged.(check 
with sensor resistance value chart)
4. Mainboard damaged.
12
Indoor evaporator
temperature sensor is
open/short circuited
F2
AC stops operation once reaches the setting
temperature. Cooling, drying:
internal fan motor stops operation while other 
loads stop operation; heating: AC
stop operation
1. Loosening or bad contact of Indoor
evaporator temp. sensor and mainboard terminal.
2. Components on the mainboard fall
down leads short circuit.
3. Indoor evaporator temp. sensor damaged.
(check temp. sensor value chart for testing)
4. Mainboard damaged.

Outdoor ambient
temperature sensor is
open/short circuited
F3
During cooling and drying operating, compressor 
stops while indoor fan operates; During heating 
operation, the complete unit will stop operation
Outdoor temperature sensor hasn't been 
connected well or is damaged. Please check it by 
referring to the resistance table for temperature 
sensor)
14
Outdoor condenser
temperature sensor is
open/short circuited
F4
During cooling and drying operation, compressor 
stops while indoor fan will operate; During heating 
operation, the complete unit will stop operation.
Outdoor temperature sensor hasn't been 
connected well or is damaged. Please check it by 
referring to the resistance table for temperature 
sensor)
16
Outdoor discharge
temperature sensor is
open/short circuited
F5
During cooling and drying operation, compressor 
will sop after operating for about 3 mins, while 
indoor fan will operate;
During heating operation, the complete unit will 
stop after operating for about 3 mins.
1.Outdoor temperature sensor hasn't been 
connected well or is damaged. Please check it by 
referring to the resistance table for temperature 
sensor)
2.The head of temperature sensor hasn't been 
inserted into the copper tube
17
Limit/decrease frequency 
due to overload
F6
All loads operate normally, while operation 
frequency for compressor is decreased
Refer to the malfunction analysis (overload, high 
temperature resistant)
18
Decrease frequency due 
to overcurrent
F8
All loads operate normally, while operation 
frequency for compressor is decreased
The input supply voltage is too low;
System pressure is too high and overload
19
Decrease frequency due 
to high air discharge
F9
All loads operate normally, while operation 
frequency for compressor is decreased
Overload or temperature is too high; 
Refrigerant is insufcient;
Malfunction of electric expansion valve (EKV)
20
Limit/decrease frequency 
due to antifreezing
FH
All loads operate normally, while operation 
frequency for compressor is decreased
Poor air-return in indoor unit or fan speed is too 
low
