Introduction ESIE15-13B 1.2.2 Cautions Regarding Safety of Users Warning Be sure to use parts listed in the service parts list of the applicable model and appropriate tools to conduct repair work. Never attempt to modify the equipment. The use of inappropriate parts or tools may cause an electrical shock, excessive heat generation or fire.
Page 11
ESIE15-13B Introduction Warning Check to make sure that the power cable plug is not dirty or loose, then insert the plug into a power outlet securely. If the plug has dust or loose connection, it may cause an electrical shock or fire. Be sure to install the product correctly by using the provided standard For unitary type installation frame.
Introduction ESIE15-13B Caution Be sure to measure the insulation resistance after the repair, and make sure that the resistance is 1 MΩ or higher. Faulty insulation may cause an electrical shock. Be sure to check the drainage of the indoor unit after the repair. Faulty drainage may cause the water to enter the room and wet the furniture and floor.

Test Operation ESIE15-13B 1. Test Operation Live parts can be easily touched by accident. WARNING Never leave the unit unattended during installation or servicing when the service panel is removed. Never perform a test run with the discharge piping thermistor (R2T) and suction piping thermistor (R3T) removed, as this might break the compressor.
ESIE15-13B Test Operation Test Run 1. Make sure the liquid and gas stop valves are open. Opening direction Liquid side Gas side Remove the cap and turn counterclockwise with a hex wrench until it stops 2. Be sure to close the front side panel before operation, as not doing so can cause electric shock.

Troubleshooting by Remote Controller ESIE15-13B <Diagnosis of inadequate refrigerant> In heating operation (1) As suction superheat degree increases due to refrigerant shortage, the electronic expansion valve tends to open (opens fully) to avoid overheat operation. (2) As suction superheat degree increases due to refrigerant shortage, compressor frequency decreases because suction superheat degree is controlled in order to prevent oil to the outdoor heat exchanger from being retained.
ESIE15-13B Removing the switchbox 4. Removing the switchbox Caution Removing electrical components Remove the cover screws before removing an electrical component. Not doing so may damage the refrigerant pipe. Replace the grease on the heat sink with new grease. Not doing so may cause the PCB to fail due to insufficient cooling.
