9-3-1. Outdoor control circuit board
Refer to 9-2-1. Checking the outdoor unit.
NOTE: Do not remove or insert the outdoor control circuit board connector when power is being supplied to it.
(The controller will be damaged.)
9-3-2. HIC
Perform the continuity tests shown in the table above. Locations which are not as shown in the table have suffered HIC
failures.
NOTE: Ordinarily, the red lead of the tester has negative polarity. However, the reverse may be true, particularly with digital
testers. Use caution.
9-3-3. Fuse
Check the continuity visually or with a tester.
9-3-4. Compressor
Check for an open circuit in the compressor coil winding.
9-3-5. Compressor protective sensor (compressor discharge temperature thermistor)
Check that the sensor is securely contained in the thermostat holder.
9-3-6. Outdoor fan motor
Turn the fan slowly by hand.
● If the fan rotates easily:
a Replace the running capacitor on the outdoor control circuit board.
b Check for an open circuit in the fan motor coil winding.
c Use the tester AC range to check whether voltage is reaching the connector on the outdoor fan motor circuit board. If
the needle moves, the result is normal.
● If the fan does not rotate easily:
a Check whether something is obstructing the fan, or if the fan itself is coming into contact with the outer case, preventing
it from rotating. Correct if necessary.
b Otherwise, the fan motor bearings have seized. Replace the bearings.
