< Troubleshooting by using the self-diagnosis memory function>
·
By using the self-diagnosis memory function, you can check the failure mode (
Ć
1) occurring in the outdoor electrical
ǂ parts on the indoor unit side.
Steps 1. Clear the troubleshooting data.
2. Run the product for several minutes under the conditions where the compressor runs.
3. Redisplay and check the data written in the self-diagnosis memory.
·
The self-diagnosis memory function can also be used to catch sporadic failure phenomena.
Steps 1. Clear the troubleshooting data.
2. Have the user use the product as usual until a failure phenomenon occurs.
ǂ
(The period depends on the incidence of the phenomenon.)
3. At a later date, redisplay and check the data written in the self-diagnosis memory.
·
For the outdoor self-diagnosis display (OH thermistor heat-up, overload lower limit cut) stemming from the freezing cycle
ǂ or operating condition, the time lag is long from operation startup to the emergence of the phenomenon.
ǂ Moreover, it is affected by the temperature, sunshine, operating hours, and other factors of the day, so that the
phenomenon may not be able to be identified at the time of a repair service visit. In that case too, use the self-diagnosis
memory function ( Ć 2).
· The outdoor self-diagnosis display "overload lower limit cut" and "OH thermistor heat-up" can be identified only when you
are using the self-diagnosis lamp of the outdoor unit and the self-diagnosis memory function of the indoor unit.
Note that this will not be automatically displayed on the indoor unit side.
