2. Outdoor unit does not operate (but receives remote infrared signal)

Set to room temperature 16

C in the cooling

mode or to 32

C in the heating mode, and

press the start/stop button.

Remove the outdoor unit cover and
electrical parts cover, and check self-
diagnosis lamp LD301.

Does LD301 blink one time?
*Repeats 0.25-second on and 2-second off.

Does outdoor electrical part
LD301 blink nine times?

Does LD303 switch off
several second after it lights?

Perform final operation check.

Check outdoor electrical parts,
and repair any defective parts.
