connectors, or parts may be damaged.
Check for the conditions of
mounting of the temperature
sensors of the outdoor air
thermistor, the heat exchanger
liquid pipe thermistor, and
subcooling heating exchanger
liquid pipe thermistor to the piping.
Are the temperature
sensors properly
mounted?
YES
Disconnect the outdoor air
thermistor, the heat exchanger
liquid pipe thermistor, and
subcooling heating exchanger
liquid pipe thermistor from the
outdoor unit main PCB, and
then make measurement of
resistance using a multimeter.
