Check point 1. Check if 3-way valve is open
If the 3-way valve is closed, open the 3-way valve and check operation.
NOTE: For cooling operation, check gas side of the 3-way valve.
For heating operation, check liquid side of the 3-way valve.
↓
Check point 2. Check the outdoor unit ambient temperature (Only when heating operation)
Outdoor unit ambient temperature lower than operating range?
↓
Check point 3. Check the outdoor unit fan and heat exchanger (Only when heating operation)
• No foreign object in air passage?
• Heat exchanger fins clogged?
• Fan rotes?
• Check the motor. (Refer to outdoor unit fan motor in "Service parts information" on page 03-
75.)
↓
Check point 4. Check the electronic expansion valve (EEV) and strainer
• Check if EEV open.
Refer to outdoor unit Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) in
"Service parts information" on page
03-75.
• Check the strainer clogging.
↓
Check point 5. Check the suction pressure sensor
Check the suction pressure sensor characteristics.
NOTE: For the characteristics of the thermistor, refer to suction pressure sensor in "Service parts
information" on page 03-75.
