check fan motor and capacitor
Note: The protection is activated when temperature is higher than 120° C and restored when lower than 100° C.
Conduct leak test. 
Evacuate and recharge
yes
Measure equalized pressure and 
running pressure to see if the 
system is overfed or starved. Is 
there a leak? Is capillary tube 
clogged? 
no
repair or replace
yes
Is piping twisted or 
deformed?
no
cleaning
Is filter or heat exchanger dirty?
yes
yes
no

work properly in cooling cycle?
replace PCB
Air conditioner is 
running in bad 
condition?
Unclog piping
If the pipe is 
blocked?
Are they too low?
Are high pressure and 
low pressure normal?
replace PCB
yes
yes
yes
yes
yes
yes
nono
no
Is discharging temperature 
sensor in good condition?
no
Is discharging temperature detected 
by a thermometer too high?
open valves
no
Are stop valves in suction pipe and 
liquid pipe of outdoor unit open?
Refrigerant charge is needed
start
replace discharging sensor
1) Compressor discharging temperature protection
