TROUBLESHOOTING
Diagnostic Check point
If a button is stuck (on > 20 sec)
1. The AC line voltage is out of specification
2. The AC line voltage is monitored by
the PFC processor on the MCS board
1. An open or shorted sensor is detected
by the A/D conversion value residing at the
upper or lower end of the conversion range.
2. The Ambient Indoor Temperature
Sensor(T8) is open or shorted
3. Defective contact between
male and female electrical
molex connectors.
4. The sensor is not properly
connected to the FMC.
1. The wall controller is not properly
connected to the
FMC.
2. There is an issue with the sensor itself.
3. The Humidity sensor (T12) is open or
shorted
1. The Pressure Limit Switch is open
2. The Pressure Limit Switch will
open if the pressure in and around the
com‑ pressor becomes too small
1. The Outdoor Coil reaches a temperature
greater than 175°F
2. ODF is not running when the compressor
is on in cool.
3. Improperly pinched EEV position <100
steps.
4. Seal system blockage.
1. Lower than usual IDB speeds.
2. Low refrigerant charge.
3. Low Ambient.
1. Unit is oversized for the space
2. Wall controller is placed in a position
where the temperature is grossly off of the
actual room condition.
Solution
1. Disconnect the sensor at the FMC then
reconnect.
2. Ohm out the sensor to determine the
failure point and correct as needed.
Refer to Component Testing (Thermistor
Values)
3. Replace the FMC board.
1. Ohm out the sensor to determine the
failure point and correct as needed.
Refer to Component Testing (Thermistor
Values).
2. Verify that the wall controller is correctly
connected to the unit, if it is and the problem
persists, replace the wall controller.
1. Ensure that the ODF is properly connected
and operational
2. Open the EEV >300 and see if the rectifies
the issue.
3. Remove Blockage
4. ODF replacement
1. Ensure that the IDB is connected properly
and is operational.
2. Check that there is no blockage in the duct
work.
3. Check the filter.
4. Check for refrigerant leaks and reprocess.
1. Ensure that the wall controller's
placement is "correct" based on room air
flow
