1 Indoor unit fan lock Operation stops if there is no 
input of rotation pulse signal from 
indoor unit fan motor for 1 minute.
When indoor unit fan 
is in operation
Operation OFF or ON ✩2 Yes None
Indoor unit fan rota-
tion speed error
Operation stops if rotation pulse 
signal from indoor unit fan indi-
cates abnormally low speed 
(about 300 rpm or slower).
When indoor unit fan 
is in operation
Operation OFF or ON ✩2 Yes None
2 Indoor unit freeze 
prevention
Compressor stops if temperature 
remains below 0°C for 4 minutes.
When in cooling or 
dehumidifying opera-
tion
Automatic reset when 
heat exchanger tem-
perature rises above 
freeze prevention 
temperature (2°C or 
higher)
— None None
3 2-way valve freeze 
prevention
Compressor stops if temperature 
of outdoor unit 2-way valve 
remains below 0°C for 10 continu-
ous minutes during cooling or 
dehumidifying operation.
When in cooling or 
dehumidifying opera-
tion
Automatic reset when 
temperature of 2-way 
valve rises above 
10°C.
None Yes Yes
4 Indoor unit heat 
exchanger over-
heat shutdown
Operating frequency lowers if 
indoor unit heat exchanger tem-
perature exceeds overheat tem-
perature during heating 
operation.
Compressor stops if indoor unit 
heat exchanger temperature 
exceeds overheat temperature for 
60 seconds at minimum fre-
quency.
Overheat temperature setting 
value indoor unit heat exchanger 
thermistor temperature: about 45 
to 54°C
When in heating 
operation
Automatic reset after 
safety period (180 
sec).
None Yes Yes
5 Outdoor unit heat 
exchanger over-
heat shutdown
Operation frequency lowers if out-
door unit heat exchanger temper-
ature exceeds about 55°C during 
cooling operation.
Compressor stops if outdoor unit 
heat exchanger temperature 
exceeds about 55°C for 120 sec-
onds at minimum frequency.
When in cooling or 
dehumidifying opera-
tion
Automatic reset after 
safety period (180 
sec).
None Yes Yes
6 Compressor dis-
charge overheat 
shutdown
Operating frequency lowers if 
temperature of compressor 
chamber thermistor (TH1) falls 
below about 110°C.
Compressor stops if temperature 
of compressor chamber ther-
mistor (TH1) remains at about 
110°C (for 120 seconds in cooling 
operation, or 60 seconds in heat-
ing operation) at minimum fre-
quency.
When compressor is 
in operation
Automatic reset after 
safety period (180 
sec).
None Yes Yes
7 Dehumidifying 
operation tempo-
rary stop
Compressor stops if outside air 
temperature thermistor is lower 
than about 16°C during dehumidi-
fying operation.
When in dehumidify-
ing operation
Automatic reset when 
outside air tempera-
ture rises above 
16°C.
None Yes Yes
8 DC overcurrent 
error
Compressor stops if electric cur-
rent of about 20 A (25 A for AY-
R45SC) or higher flows in IPM.
When compressor is 
in operation
Operation OFF or ON Yes ✩1Yes Yes
