Abnormality of Thermistor for Discharge Gas
Temperature on the Top of Compressor
● The RUN indicator (Red) is ashing
● The indoor unit number, the alarm code, the unit model code and the connected number of indoor units are displayed on
LCD. Meanwhile, the indoor unit number and the alarm code are displayed on the 7-segment of outdoor unit PCB. (For
the combination of outdoor units, the alarm code is displayed on PCB of outdoor unit A.) Additionally for the outdoor unit
number and compressor number with abnormal thermistor, check the alarm code history.
★
This alarm code is indicated when a short circuit (less than 0.9kΩ) for a second or disconnection (more than 5946kΩ) of
the thermistor is detected during the operation.

Faulty O.U. PCB
Is the setting of DSW2
on O.U. PCB right?
Are discharge gas
thermistors (THM8,
THM9) connected to THM8
(TD1) and THM9 (TD2)
on O.U. PCB?
Yes
Is resistance of
