Check procedure
Mechanical check
1. Switch off the Daikin unit via the user interface.
2. Switch off the Daikin unit with the field supplied circuit breaker.
3. Remove plate work when required.
4. Loosen the screw and remove the coil from the 4-way valve (refer to

ARNING
When reconnecting a connector to the PCB, do not apply force, as this may damage the connector or connector pins of
the PCB.
5. Unplug 4-way valve connector from applicable PCB.
6. Switch on the Daikin unit via the user interface, start cooling/defrost operation.
If the temperature after the heat exchanger drops, proceed with next step.
If the temperature after the heat exchanger rises, the 4-way valve is stuck in heating position, replace the 4-way valve body
(refer to "Replacing 4-way valve body" on page
If the temperature after the heat exchanger does not rise, check the refrigerant pressure by connecting a manifold to one of
the service ports.
- If no pressure is measured, perform a pressure test and fix any leaks.
- If pressure is measured, the 4-way valve is stuck in the middle, confirm by determining the position of the 4-way valve as
described below and replace the 4-way valve (refer to
C - R
AUTION
