Troubleshooting; Symptoms That Are Not System Malfunctions; Symptom: The System Does Not Operate; Symptom: The Unit Does Not Stop Immediately When Operation Is Stopped - Daikin LRMEQ3BY1 Installation And Operation Manual

WARNING
▪ Do not modify, disassemble, remove, reinstall or repair
the unit yourself as incorrect dismantling or installation
may cause an electric shock or fire. Contact your
dealer.
▪ In case of accidental refrigerant leaks, make sure there
are no naked flames. The refrigerant itself is entirely
safe, non-toxic and non-combustible, but it will
generate toxic gas when it accidentally leaks into a
room where combustible air from fan heaters, gas
cookers, etc. is present. Always have qualified service
personnel confirm that the point of leakage has been
repaired or corrected before resuming operation.

13.1 Symptoms that are NOT system
malfunctions
The following symptoms are NOT system malfunctions:
13.1.1

Symptom: The system does not operate

▪ The system does not start immediately after it is turned ON again.
If the operation lamp lights, the system is in normal condition. To
prevent overloading of the compressor motor, the system starts 5
minutes after it is turned ON again in case it was turned OFF just
before.
▪ The system does not start immediately after the power supply is
turned on. Wait one minute until the micro computer is prepared
for operation.
13.1.2 Symptom: The unit does not stop
immediately when operation is stopped
This is to prevent components from being damaged. The unit will
stop in a little while.
13.1.3

Symptom: Noise (Outdoor unit)

▪ A continuous low hissing sound is heard when the system is in
cooling operation. This is the sound of refrigerant gas flowing
through both indoor and outdoor units.
▪ A hissing sound which is heard at the start or immediately after
stopping operation. This is the noise of refrigerant caused by flow
stop or flow change.
