14.4.14  H97 (Outdoor Fan Motor – DC Motor Mechanism Locked) 
Malfunction Decision Conditions 
•  The rotation speed detected by the Hall IC during fan motor operation is used to determine abnormal fan motor. 
 
Malfunction Caused 
•  Operation stops due to short circuit inside the fan motor winding. 
•  Operation stops due to breaking of wire inside the fan motor. 
•  Operation stops due to breaking of fan motor lead wires. 
•  Operation stops due to Hall IC malfunction. 
•  Operation error due to faulty outdoor unit PCB. 
 
Troubleshooting 
 
When abnormality indication starts again 
 
Turn off power supply and rotate fan by hand 
  Replace fan motor 
For safety reason and to prevent 
component breakdown, always switch 
off the power before remove and 
connect the component. 
Turn off power supply and disconnect fan motor connector, 
then turn power on. 
NO

Does it rotate? 
Stop fan motor 
Check the rotation feedback output from fan motor. 
Rotate the fan motor by hand, is the rotation feedback 
voltage 15Vdc (pin 1 & 4) generated? 
Check the output of fan motor from indoor PCB 
Is the motor power supply voltage ~325Vdc (pin 7 & 4) 
generated? 
NO  
YES  
Is the motor control voltage 15Vdc (pin 3 & 4) generated? 
NO  
Operate the fan, is the rotation command voltage 1~5Vdc (pin 2 
& 4) generated? 
NO  
NO 
YES
