Does the timer lamp on the indoor unit blink?

Is the compressor in the outdoor unit operating?

Does the operation lamp on the indoor unit

start to light or blink?

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.

Blinking other than
one time

One-time blinking

Yes

Normal

Timer
lamp

Press the service switch for 1 sec.

Does the compressor operate?

(After checking, be sure to press

the service switch to stop the

operation).

Check the refrigerating cycle.

Check the outdoor electrical parts.

Check the indoor electrical parts.

Check to see whether the F-
cable is connected incorrectly
or disconnected

See “Out door unit self-diagnosis lamp
lighting mode”.

See “Troubleshooting when the timer lamp
blinks”.

Is approx. DC 33 to 37V being generated? Is the

polarity correct?

Remove the terminal cover and check the voltage
between terminal (C) and terminal (D)
