Error diagnosis and countermeasure flow chart
Are the resistance between
each phase and insulation resistance
of Inverter compressor normal ?
[refer electric component part]
Yes
Is fuse normal?
[refer electric component part]
Yes
Is noise filter normal?
[refer electric component part]
Yes
Is input voltage of power
supply normal? (Over 360V)
[refer electric component part]
Yes
Check whether the current
measured at the R phase line passing
through CT during operation is
above 18A after reset?*
Yes
DC Link voltage is more
than 460 V?
[refer electric component part]
Yes
Check over charging of refrigerant or
whether the filter is blocked of indoor
unit (heating) / outdoor (cooling) or not

Error Point
The current flowing at the
CT sensing circuit is more
than the allowable maxi-
mum value of the current
during cooling mode
No
Replace INV COMP
No
Replace FUSE
No
Replace Noise Filter
No
Check input voltage & adjust
Is it working normally
No
with 5~15A of CT current ?
Is CH 22 occurred?
Yes
Replace inverter compressor PCB
Capacitor/ 3phase Diode
No
check & replace

Troubleshooting Guide
Main Reasons
1. Compressor damage
2. Current sensing sensor (CT) damage
3. Low input voltage
4. Compressor terminal is disconnected or loose
5. Abnormality at the outdoor / indoor unit fan
7. Cover or clogging(Outdoor unit covering dur-
ing cooling mode/ Filter clogged at the indoor
during heating mode )
8. Defective inverter PCB/IPM PCB
No
