14. Timer lamp blinking: blinking 12 times
[Situation] The timer blinks 12 times and the product will not run.
[Estimated failure locations] ・Erroneous connection in the indoor-outdoor connection line (F cable)
[Cautions] ・When lines A and B of F cable are erroneously connected (crossed), the product may not
enter self-diagnosis display mode. If the self-diagnosis memory stores data about "timer
lamp blinked 12 times," then, just in case, check if the F cable is not erroneously connected.
・Detecting this failure mode turns off the power relay 3 minutes later and blocks the power
supply to the outdoor unit.
