[6] MALFUNCTION (PARTS) CHECK METHOD

1. Procedure for determining defective outdoor unit IPM/compressor 

The following flow chart shows a procedure for locating the cause of a malfunction when the compressor does not start up and a DC overcurrent indi-
cation error occurs. 

CAUTION: Please take care for electrical shock when you work to change defective parts or disconnect wires of defective application.

The outdoor unit has energy changed for a while even after unplugging the power supply cord.

After changing the part or unit, please retry check procedure from the beginning.

YES

Immediately
after startup

YES

YES

NO

NO

NO

YES

NO

Connect power cord

to AC outlet.

Normal

Using remote control,
operate air conditioner
so

that

compressor

starts.

Check 220-240 VAC
between (1) and (N)
on outdoor unit PWB.

Is LED1 on outdoor

unit flashing?

Compressor starts up.

Does LED1 indicate
DC overcurrent error?

Does LED1 indicate
rotation error?

Replace compressor.

Does LED1 remain lit?

Serial signal error.
Check inter-unit wiring.
Check indoor and
outdoor unit PWBs.

Replace outdoor unit
PWB.
Check compressor.
2/3-way valve closed.
Refrigerant shortage.

Replace outdoor unit PWB.

Check 320 VDC between
pins IPM (20) and (24)?

LED1 is flashing.

Replace outdoor unit PWB.

Replace expansion valve.

Disconnect (CN3) lead
wires of FAN motor.

Disconnect

(CN12)

expansion valve.

Replace outdoor unit PWB.

YES
