      pattersonjacobAug 22, 2025
      When the indoor operating mode conflicts with that of the outdoor unit, the indoor fault indicator will flash and conflict will be shown on the wired controller after 5 minutes. The indoor unit stops running and the outdoor unit changes its mode of operation to match the indoor unit, then the unit will go back to normal.
