Insufficient Refrigerant Amount Of Detection Of Service Valve Closure - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries FDT Series Technical Manual

Error code
E57
Remote controller:
1. Applicable model
Models SRC40-60
2. Error detection method
• Judge insufficient refrigerant
amount by detecting the
temperature differnce between
indoor heat exchanger (ThI-R)
and indoor return air (ThI-A).
3. Condition of Error displayed
amount is detected 3 times
within 60 minutes.
4. Presumable cause
• Defective indoor heat
exchanger temperature
thermistor
• Defective indoor return air
temperature thermistor
• Defective indoor control PCB
• Insufficient refregerant

Note: When the compressor speed is 50 rps or under at 5 minutes after the start of compressor or the completion of defrosting, the low refrigerant protection control

Diagnosis
Is the
service valve fully
opened?
YES
Are the
connections of indoor
heat exchanger and/or return air
temperature thermistor
connectors OK?
YES
Are the
characteristics of indoor heat
exchanger and/or return air
temperature thermistor
OK?
YES
Is the low
pressure during operation
normal?
