15.5.27 F98 (Input Over Current Detection) 
Malfunction Decision Conditions 
  During operation of cooling and heating, when an input over-current (X value in Total Running Current Control) is 
detected by checking the input current value being detected by current transformer (CT) with the compressor 
running. 
 
Malfunction Caused 
 Excessive refrigerant. 
  Faulty outdoor unit PCB.

Reclaim and recharge with correct 
amount of refrigerant. 
Replace outdoor unit PCB.
Replace outdoor unit compressor.
When F98 indication happens.
Get restarted and measure the input 
current.
Turn off power supply. Check the main 
circuit electrolytic capacitor.
