2. Error detection method
Detection of anomalously low
temperature (resistance) on
the outdoor heat exchanger
temperature sensor
3. Condition of Error displayed
• When the temperature sensor
detects -55 °C or lower for 20
seconds continuously within
2 minutes to 2 minutes 20
seconds after the compressor
ON, the compressor stops. After
3-minutes delay, the compressor
starts again automatically, but
if this anomalous temperature
is detected 3 times within 40
minutes.
• When -55 °C or lower is
detected for 5 seconds
continuously within 20
seconds after power ON.
4. Presumable cause
• Defective outdoor unit PCB
• Broken sensor harness or
temperature sensing section
• Disconnected wire connection
(connector)
