What triggers it
Compressor discharge temperature exceeds the manual's threshold for 9 seconds; the compressor stops and the LED displays the fault code.
What to do
- If compressor discharge temperature is more than 115C for R410a or 108C for R32, check whether refrigerant is leaking.
- If refrigerant is leaking, stop the leak and add refrigerant.
- Check whether the compressor discharge temperature sensor and PCB are connected according to the wiring diagram; correct the wiring if not.
- Measure discharge temperature sensor resistance and replace the sensor if the value is abnormal.
- Replace the outdoor main PCB; if the problem still exists, replace the high pressure valve assembly.
Which systems show it
- MRCOOL DIY 5th Generation single-zone 9k, 12k, 18k, 24k, and 36k D25 indoor/outdoor models listed in manual section 1.1.
- For certain models the outdoor unit uses a combination sensor where T3, T4, and TP are the same sensor.
