Outdoor Fan Motor Anomaly - Mitsubishi Electric FDF100VSXVD Technical Manual

Error code
E48
Remote controller:
1. Applicable model
All models
2. Error detection method
Detected by rotation speed of
outdoor fan motor
3. Condition of Error displayed
When actual rotation speed
of outdoor fan motor (FMo1)
drops to 100min or lower
-1
for 30 minutes continuously,
the compressor and the
outdoor fan motor stop. After
3-minutes delay, it starts
again automatically, but if this
anomaly occurs 5 times within
60 minutes after the initial
detection.
4. Presumable cause
• Defective outdoor control
PCB
• Foreign material at rotational
area of fan propeller
• Defective fan motor
• Dust on outdoor control PCB
• Blow fuse
• External noise, surge
Note: When E48 error occurs, in almost cases F2 fuse (4A) [Model 71:F3 fuse (2A)]on the outdoor control PCB is blown. There are a lot of cases
that fuse is blown and E48 occurs due to defective fan motor. And even though only the outdoor control PCB ( or fuse) is replaced,, another
trouble (*1) could occur. Therefore when fuse is blown, check whether the fan motor is OK or not.
*1 The error which does not seem to relate E48 may occur like as "
communication error (E45) and etc.

fan rotate smoothly when turned
by hand?
YES
Is DC280V
detected between (CNFAN
(red)- (blue)) of fan motor
connector?
YES
Power supply reset
Is normal state restored?

Countermeasure
Remove foreign material.
Replace fan motor.
If resistance between
(Vm):red - (GND):blue is
detected 1k or lower, it is
faulty.
Check power supply
NO
voltage.
Replace faulty fan motor
and control PCB.
Replace fan motor (If
anomaly persists after
replacing fan motor, replace
control PCB.)
Malfunction by temporary
noise
