EA

EA — Cooling-heating switching error

This code means there's an error during the process of switching between cooling and heating modes. The unit may not be able to change modes correctly.

F3

F3 — High temperature discharge pipe control activated

This code indicates that the discharge pipe temperature has become too high, triggering a safety control. This often relates to airflow or system load.

F6

F6 — High pressure control activated (in cooling)

This code means that during cooling operation, the system's internal pressure has become too high, activating a safety protection.

H0

H0 — Sensor fault detected

This is a general sensor fault code. It indicates that one or more sensors within the system are not functioning correctly.

H6

H6 — Operation halt due to faulty position detection sensor

This code indicates that the unit has stopped operating because a position detection sensor is faulty. This sensor helps the unit know its orientation or component positions.

H8

H8 — DC current sensor fault detected

This code indicates a fault with the DC current sensor. This sensor measures electrical current flow within the unit.

H9

H9 — Faulty suction air temperature sensor

This code is similar to C9 and indicates an issue with the sensor measuring the temperature of the air entering the indoor unit.

J3

J3 — Faulty discharge pipe temperature sensor

This indicates that the sensor measuring the temperature of the discharge pipe is not working correctly. This sensor is important for monitoring system performance.

J6

J6 — Faulty heat exchanger temperature sensor

This code indicates a fault with the temperature sensor for the heat exchanger. This sensor is critical for efficient operation.

L3

L3 — Electrical parts heat fault

This code indicates that certain electrical components within the unit are overheating. This is a safety concern.

L4

L4 — High temperature at inverter circuit heatsink

This code means the heatsink for the inverter circuit is experiencing high temperatures. This can affect the performance and lifespan of the inverter.

L5

L5 — Output overcurrent detected

This code indicates that the unit's output current has exceeded safe operating limits. This is a protective shutdown.

OPERATION lamp blinking

OPERATION lamp blinking — System error, check error code

The green OPERATION lamp is blinking, indicating a potential system error. The unit may have stopped functioning or is not operating correctly.

OPERATION lamp blinking, stops automatically

OPERATION lamp blinking, stops automatically — Airflow obstruction detected

The OPERATION lamp is blinking, and the unit has stopped. This often means something is blocking the airflow to or from the indoor or outdoor unit.

OPERATION lamp on, stops automatically

OPERATION lamp on, stops automatically — System protecting itself from voltage fluctuations

The unit stops operating temporarily, but the OPERATION lamp remains on. This usually happens to protect the system from sudden large changes in voltage.

P4

P4 — Faulty inverter circuit heatsink temperature sensor

This indicates a fault with the temperature sensor monitoring the heatsink of the inverter circuit. This sensor is crucial for preventing overheating.

U0

U0 — Refrigerant shortage detected

This code indicates a potential issue with the amount of refrigerant in the system. Low refrigerant can affect cooling or heating performance.

U2

U2 — Voltage fluctuation detected

This code indicates that the system has detected either a voltage drop or an overvoltage. This can temporarily stop operation to protect the unit.

U4

U4 — Communication error between units

This code means there is a problem with the communication signal between the indoor and outdoor units. This prevents them from working together correctly.

UA

UA — Indoor-outdoor unit combination fault

This code indicates a fault related to how the indoor and outdoor units are communicating or operating together. It's a general combination error.

abnormal sound

Abnormal sound heard during operation — Potential malfunction

You hear a sound that is not normal during operation. This could indicate various issues with the unit's components.

beep

Beep — Setting changed confirmation

A single beep sound is heard when a setting is changed using the remote controller or ON/OFF switch. This confirms the setting has been registered.

beep-beep

Beep-beep — Operation start confirmed

Two short beeps are heard when the operation is started using the ON/OFF switch or remote controller. This confirms the start command.

beeps, long beep

Beeps, long beep — Operation stop confirmed

A long beep sound is heard when the operation is stopped using the ON/OFF switch or remote controller. This confirms the stop command.

burning smell

Burning smell — Fire hazard, stop use immediately

A burning smell is detected coming from the unit. This is a critical safety warning indicating a potential fire risk.

circuit breaker cuts off frequently

Circuit breaker cuts off frequently — Electrical fault or overload

The circuit breaker trips repeatedly, cutting off power to the unit. This suggests an electrical problem or the unit drawing too much power.

power cord hot or damaged

Power cord hot or damaged — Serious electrical issue, stop use

The power cord feels unusually hot to the touch or shows signs of damage. This is a serious safety hazard.
