10-1. CAUTIONS ON TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Before troubleshooting, check the following
1) Check the power supply voltage.
2) Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire for miswiring.
2. Take care of the following during servicing
1) Before servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn OFF the main unit first with the remote controller, and then after
confirming the horizontal vane is closed, turn OFF the breaker and/or disconnect the power plug.
2) Be sure to turn OFF the power supply before removing the front panel, the cabinet, the top panel, and the P.C. board.
3) When removing the P.C. board, hold the edge of the board with care NOT to apply stress on the components.
4) When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, hold the connector housing. DO NOT pull the lead wires.
3. Troubleshooting procedure
1) Check if the OPERATION INDICATOR lamp on the indoor unit is blinking ON and OFF to indicate an abnormality.
To make sure, check how many times the OPERATION INDICATOR is blinking ON and OFF before starting service
work.
2) Before servicing, check that the connector and terminal are connected properly.
3) If the P.C. board is supposed to be defective, check the copper foil pattern for disconnection and the components for
bursting and discoloration.
4) When troubleshooting, refer to 10-2., 10-3. and 10-4.
