Supposed causes
Trouble shooting:
IPM module protection
Check whether the voltage range
of P‐N on IPM module is normal?
DC277‐356V for 18‐27KBtu/h;
DC277‐410V for 36K‐48KBtu/h
Yes
Check whether the connecting
line between main board and
the IPM module is connected
tightly
Yes
Check whether the connecting
line of the compressor is
connected correctly or tightly
Yes
Replace the IPM module,
check whether the system can
work normally?
No
Check if the outdoor fan
runs properly or the outdoor
unit ventilation is good.
No
Replace the main board; check
whether the system can work
normally?
No
Replace the compressor, check
whether the system can work
normally?
Yes
When the voltage signal that IPM send to compressor drive
chip is abnormal, the display LED will show "P6" and AC will
turn off.
● Wiring mistake
● IPM malfunction
● Outdoor fan ass'y faulty
● Compressor malfunction
● Outdoor PCB faulty
