3.58 Refrigerant Shortage
Applicable
All outdoor unit models
Models
U0
Error Code
Method of Error
Detect refrigerant shortage according to a low pressure level or a difference in heat exchanging
Detection
temperature from the suction pipe.
Error Decision
Low pressure becomes 0.1 MPa (14.5 psi) or less.
Error is not determined. The unit continues the operation.
Conditions
Supposed
Refrigerant shortage or refrigerant clogging (wrong piping)
Causes
Defective thermistor
Defective low pressure sensor
Defective outdoor unit main PCB
Troubleshooting
Note(s)
1. Check the low pressure value by using pressure gauge in operation.
2. Compare the actual measurement value by pressure sensor with the value by the

(1) Mount a pressure gauge at the service port on the low
pressure side.
(2) Reset the operation using the remote controller then
restart.
