For technicians
Possible causes (source text)
Steps given by the manufacturer (source text)
- Check whether the power voltage is stable (normal fluctuation about 10% of rated voltage); adjust the power voltage to make it normal.[8]
- Clean the outdoor and indoor heat exchangers to eliminate the blockage of air inlet and air outlet.[9]
- Check whether the fan motor can operate; check the motor and install it again to let the fan operate normally.[10]
- Check whether the compressor operates normally (abnormal sound, oil leakage, high case temperature); system blocked – check the capillary and filter, or whether the cut off valve is frosted; replace the blockage component.[11]
⚠ Work on refrigerant circuits, mains electricity and PV DC wiring is for qualified technicians only.
