4.16 Discharge Pipe Temperature Control
Error Code
F3
Method of Error
Detection
An error is determined with the temperature detected by the discharge pipe thermistor.
Error Decision
Conditions
If the temperature detected by the discharge pipe thermistor rises above
A
°C, the
compressor stops.
The error is cleared when the discharge pipe temperature has dropped below
B
°C.
If the error repeats, the system is shut down.
Reset condition: Continuous run for about 60 minutes without any other error
Supposed
Causes
Defective discharge pipe thermistor
(Defective outdoor heat exchanger thermistor or outdoor temperature thermistor)
Defective electronic expansion valve or coil
Refrigerant shortage
Defective four way valve
Water mixed in refrigerant
Defective stop valve
Defective outdoor unit PCB
