E60 - Compressor rotor lock error

What does E60 mean?

The remote control displays E60 (while the indoor unit's green LED stays off and red LED keeps flashing). This indicates a compressor rotor lock error, meaning the compressor's rotor is unable to rotate. The system attempts to detect rotor position, and if it fails again, the compressor stops.

• Defective outdoor fan motor
• Defective outdoor unit PCB

1. 1

   Turn off the main power to the air conditioner for at least 30 minutes, then restore power and try restarting the unit.

2. 2

   Check your home's main electrical panel for tripped breakers and reset any if found.

3. 3

   Listen for any unusual noises (e.g., grinding or buzzing) from the outdoor unit when trying to start, which could indicate a compressor issue.

4. 4

   If the error persists, contact a qualified technician to inspect the compressor, outdoor fan motor, refrigerant levels, and outdoor unit PCB.
