What triggers it
The manual judges a refrigeration-system abnormality from compressor count and operating-parameter changes caused by excessive exhaust temperature.
What to do
- Power off, then restart the unit 15 minutes later.
- Check for cool or warm air at the indoor outlet.
- If there is no cool or warm air, check the system for leakage; repair leakage and recharge refrigerant if leakage is present.
- If no leak is found, charge refrigerant appropriately, about 10% of the nameplate charge.
- If cool or warm air is present, check whether T2 is loose and whether T1 is too close to the evaporator; correct installation or replace the indoor PCB as directed.
Reset procedure
Power off, then restart the unit 15 minutes later.
