2. Procedure for determinin g defective expansio n valve
3. Diode bridge check method
Turn off the power and let the inverter electrolytic capacitor (C9, C10) discharge completely. Then use a tester and check continuity.
When using a digital tester, the (+) and (-) tester lead wires in the table must be reversed.
4. Inverter electrolytic capacitor (C9, C10) check method
Turn off the power, let the inverter electrolytic capacitor (C9, C10) discharge completely, and remove the capacitor from the control printed circuit
board (PWB). First, check the case for cracks, deformation and other damages. Then, using a needle-type tester, check continuity.
Determinat ion  of norm al co nditi on
The tester needle should move on the scale and slowly returns to the original position. The tester needle should move 
in the same way when polarities are reversed. (When measurement is taken with the polarities reversed, the tester 
needle exceeds the scale range. Therefore, let the capacitor discharge before measurement.)

Value in ( ) is for digital tester.
Measure resistance in expansion valve coil.
Insert checker shown at left into 
connector (CN12) on control PWB, and 
operate air conditioner.
If frost accumulates on 2-way valve after 10 to 20 
minutes of cooling operation, then thermistors with 
yellow and black lead wires may be defective. Check 
these thermistors.
Replace thermistor assembly.
Replace control PWB.
Replace expansion 
valve assembly.
