14.4.19    F91 (Refrigeration Cycle Abnormality) 
Malfunction Decision Conditions 
•  During cooling, compressor frequency = Fcmax. 
•  During cooling and heating operation, running current: 0.65A < I < 1.65A. 
•  During cooling, indoor intake - indoor pipe < 4°C 
 
Malfunction Caused 
•  Refrigerant shortage (refrigerant leakage) 
•  Poor compression performance of compressor. 
•  2/3 way valve closed. 
•  Detection error due to faulty indoor intake air or indoor pipe temperature sensors. 
 
Troubleshooting 
 
2/3-way valve opened? 
Oil oozing out from the 2/3 way valve? 
  Replace the capillary tube or dryer.

For safety reason and to prevent component 
breakdown, always switch off the power 
before remove and connect the component. 
Check the indoor air intake and pipe 
temperature sensors. 
  Open 2/3 way valve 
Check for gas leaking. 
  Repair the pipe flare or union nuts. 
Reclaim and recharge refrigerant.

Capillary tube or dryer clogged? 
Charge for a specified amount of fresh 
refrigerant.
