Suction Pipe Temperature Thermistor Anomaly (Tho-S); Under-Dome Temperature Thermistor Anomaly (Tho-C) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries KXZ Series Service Manual

Error code
E53/E55*1
Remote control:
E53/E55
E53/E55
7-segment display: –
*1 E53 : Tho-S, E55 : Tho-C
1. Applicable model
Outdoor unit
2. Error detection method
Detection of anomalously low
temperature (resistance) of
Tho-S or Tho-C
3. Condition of error displayed
• If -50°C or lower is detected
for 5 seconds continuously
within 2 minutes to 2 minutes
20 seconds after compressor
ON, compressor stops. When
the compressor is restarted
automatically after 3-minutes
delay, if this anomaly occurs 3
times within 40 minutes.
4. Presumable cause
• Broken thermistor harness or
the internal wire of sensing
section (Check the molded
section as well)
• Disconnection of thermistor
harness connection
(connector)
• Outdoor control PCB
anomaly

5. Troubleshooting
Diagnosis
Save data for 30 minutes before stopping in Mente PC.
Is
the connector of
thermistor connected
properly ?
YES
Regarding the characteristics of
the thermistor, see the following chart.
Are
the characteristics
of thermistor OK?
※1
※1 Check several times to prove any poor connection.

Countermeasure
Check and save the data of
operating conditions.
Check the conditions
whether it occurs
immediately after the
power on or during
operation or stopping.
Check the sensed value.
Compare the temperature
on Mente PC with actual
measured value.
Insert the connector
securely.
Replace thermistor.
(Tho-S or Tho-C)
Replace outdoor control
PCB.
