IPM Continuity Check
WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Electricity remains in capacitors even when the power
supply is off.
Ensure the capacitors are fully discharged before
troubleshooting.
1. Turn off outdoor unit and disconnect power supply.
2. Discharge electrolytic capacitors and ensure all energy-storage unit has been
discharged.
3. Disassemble outdoor PCB or disassemble IPM board.
4. Measure the resistance value between P and U(V, W, N); U(V, W) and N.

Compressor check
Disconnect the compressor and check the resistance between U-V, V-W and U-W,
and all 3 values should be equal. If not, the compressor is faulty and should be
replaced.
