[ VII Troubleshooting ]
Symptom
Valve closure fail- To check the LEV on the indoor unit, check the indoor unit liquid pipe temperature
ure (leaky valve) that appears on the operation monitor on the outdoor unit's multi control board while
operating the indoor unit in question in the FAN mode and the other indoor units in
the cooling mode.
Normally, the LEV is fully closed while the unit is in the FAN mode. If the valve is
leaky, liquid pipe thermistor reading will be lower than normal. If it is significantly
lower than the inlet temperature on the remote controller, valve closure failure is
suspected. If the amount of leakage is insignificant, replacement of LEV is unnec-
essary unless it is causing a problem.

Remedy
Replace the LEV if
the amount of leak-
