Phenomena
(7)Though the remote controller dis-
play is normal in cool mode, the
capacity is not enough.
(8)Though the remote controller dis-
play is normal in Heat mode, the
capacity is not enough.
(9)Operation failure of the outdoor fan
(Fan does not rotate.)
Factor
1Filter clogging (dirt)
2Heat exchanger clogging (dirt)
3Air duct short cycle.
4Refrigerant shortage.
5Operation failure in linear expansion valve
6Thermistor connection failure
7Incorrect piping size
8Piping is too long.
1Filter clogging (dirt)
2Heat exchanger clogging (dirt)
3Air duct short cycle.
4Refrigerant shortage.
5Outdoor unit bypass circuit failure
6Indoor reverse check valve failure
Reverse check valve failure may cause refrigerant
leakage and restrictor failure.
7Heat insulator of refrigerant pipes is defective.
8Malfunction of LEV.
9Loose connection in thermistor.
1 Defective outdoor fan motor
(Short or open of the winding)
2 Defective outdoor fan motor
(Rotating-position detecting circuit built in the motor
does not output any signals.)
3 Defective outdoor controller board

Countermeasure
1Open the grille to check the filter.
Clean the filter and remove dust or dirt
away.
2Clean the heat exchanger.
Lowering the indoor piping temperature
and intake pressure means clogging in the
heat exchanger.
3Remove screen in the air duct (air outlet/
intake).
4Check if gas leaks or not in the piping
joint.
5,6Check the refrigerant circuit operation
status.
7Check the piping size.
8Check the capacity loss characteristic for
the piping length.
1Open the grille to check the filter.
Clean the filter and remove dust or dirt
away.
2Clean the heat exchanger.
Rising the indoor piping temperature and
outlet pressure means clogging in the heat
exchanger.
3Remove screen in the air duct (air outlet/
intake).
4Check if gas leaks or not in the piping
joint.
5Operating condition check in the refriger-
ant cycle.
6Since outlet temperature and indoor heat
exchanger temperature does not rise,
measure the outlet pressure and deter-
mine the countermeasure.
7Check the heat insulator.
8,9Check the function of refrigerant circuit.
1 Check the resistance of winding.
Refer to "5, HOW TO CHECK THE PARTS".
2 First of all, check the voltage of FAN12
and FAN22 on the outdoor controller
board. Check the voltage between pin
1 and 5, between pin 2 and 5, between
pin 3 and 5. If any of them does not
repeat the pattern "0V 5V
rotating-position detecting circuit is defective.
Replace the outdoor fan motor.
Second of all, make sure the voltage
between pin 4 and 5 is always 5VI 0.2V.
If not, replace the outdoor controller board
and recheck the voltage.
3 Replace the outdoor controller board.
