DESCRIPTION

POSSIBLE CAUSES

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

dd

Heating / Cooling Mode Conflict

System is in cooling or fan only mode and 

heating signal is received from a unit on the 

system.

All units should be in cooling mode for system to 

stay in cooling mode.

System is in heating mode and cooling 

signal is received from a unit in the system.

All units should be in heating mode.

E1

Communication Error Between 

Indoor & Outdoor Unit

Signal wires are short-circuited or 

disconnected.

Check or reconnect signal wire.

Signal wire close to electromagnetic 

source.

Distance signal wires from electromagnetic 

source.

PC board fault.

Replace PC board.

E2, E4, E5

Check Temperature Sensor

Loose connection at port on PC board.

Tighten the connection at port on PC board.

Sensor is short-circuited.

Using multi-meter, measure resistance of the 

sensor. If the resistance is < 100 ohms, change 

the sensor.

PC board fault.

Replace PC board.

E6

DC Fan Motor

Operating beyond limits.

Check and correct external static pressure on 

the unit.

DC motor fault.

Replace DC motor.

PC board fault.

Replace PC board.

E7

EEPROM Error (Data Storage)

Chip or PC board fault.

Replace PC board.

E9

Communication Error Between 

Indoor Unit and Controller

Signal wires are short-circuited or 

disconnected.

Check or reconnect signal wires.

Signal wires close to electromagnetic 

source.

Distance signal wires from electromagnetic 

source.

PC board fault.

Replace PC board.

Eb

EEV Error

EEV wires are short-circuited or 

disconnected.

Replace EEV wires.

EEV stop.

Replace EEV

PC board fault.

Replace PC board.

Ed

Outdoor Unit Error

Outdoor unit fault.

Refer to outdoor unit troubleshooting guide.

EE

Condensate Error

Loose connection or disconnected at port 

on PC board.

Tighten the connection or reconnect at port on 

PC board.

Condensate switch float is stuck.

Inspect the slope.

Trap slope is too steep.

Adjust the trap slope.

Drain pipe is too long.

Adjust the length of drain pipe.

Drain pump faulty.

Replace the drain pump.

FE

No Address When Power ON for first
