When abnormality indication starts again
Check the outdoor air temperature sensor:
• Plug out connector from the outdoor unit PCB
• Measure the resistance of the outdoor air temperature
sensor
Is the measured resistance of the outdoor air temperature
sensor matches the value specified in its characteristic
chart?
•
Defect in outdoor air temperature sensor
• Replace the outdoor air temperature sensor
•
Defect in outdoor unit PCB
• Replace the outdoor unit PCB
For safety reason and to prevent component
breakdown, always switch off the power
before remove and connect the component.
Check the connector connection:
• Turn off the power
• Check the connector connection
Is the connector connection normal?
YES
•
Connector poor contact
•
Correct the connection
NO
