G Check of outdoor thermistors Disconnect the connector of thermistor in the Inverter P.C. board (see below table), and measure the resistance of thermistor. Replace the thermistor except RT64. Is the resistance of thermistor normal? When RT64 is abnormal, replace the inverter P.C. (Refer to 11-6.1.) board.
Page 38
H Check of R.V. coil MUFZ-KJ25/35 First of all, measure the resistance of R.V. coil to check if the coil is defective. Refer to 11-4. In case CN721 is disconnected or R.V. coil is open, voltage is generated between the terminal pins of the connector although no signal is being transmitted to R.V.
Page 39
I Check of outdoor fan motor Disconnect the connectors CN931 and CN932 from the inverter P.C. board. Check the connection between the connector CN931 and CN932. Is the resistance between each ter- minal of outdoor fan motor normal? (Refer to 11-4.) Disconnect CN932 from the inverter P.C.

Is there rated voltage between Check the wiring. outdoor terminal block S1 and S2? Press EMERGENCY OPERATION switch once.
Page 44
MUFZ-KJ50 Turn the power supply OFF. NOTE: Refer to the indoor unit service manual. Is there rated voltage in the power supply? Check the power supply. Check for incorrect indoor-outdoor connecting wiring. Was the indoor unit ever connected to the Multi (MXZ) series and operated (turned on)? The connection information to the Multi series is stored in the indoor unit.
Page 45
N Check of defrost heater Check the following points before checking electric continuity. 1. Does the resistance of ambient temperature thermistor have the characteristics? Refer to 11-6.1. 2. Is the resistance of defrost heater normal? Refer to 11-4. 3. Does the heater protector remain conducted (not open)? 4.
