Error Code
Method of Error
An error is determined with the temperature detected by the discharge pipe thermistor.
Detection
Error Decision
If the temperature detected by the discharge pipe thermistor rises above A°C (°F), the
Conditions
The error is cleared when the discharge pipe temperature has dropped below B°C (°F).
If the error repeats, the system is shut down.
Reset condition: Continuous run for about 60 minutes without any other error
