5 --- Evaporator coil temperature sensor Open or short circuited --- diagnosis and solution (E5)

Error Code

E5

Malfunction conditions

If the reading voltage is lower than 0.06V or higher than 4.94V, the LED will display the failure.

Possible Causes

• Wiring mistake

• Defective sensor

• Defective PCB

Trouble shooting:

 

Check the connections 
between temperature 
sensor and main PCB. 
Are the connections 
good?

Correct the connections.

No

Yes

Yes

Replace indoor or 

outdoor main PCB.

Replace the sensor and 
check if the problem happen 
again?

Check the resistance value 
of the sensor.  Is it normal?

No
