11-9. How to Simply Judge Whether Outdoor Fan Motor is Good or Bad
1. Symptom
• Outdoor fan motor does not rotate.
• Outdoor fan motor stops within several tens seconds though it started rotating.
• Outdoor fan motor rotates or does not rotate according to the position where the fan stopped, etc.
Remote controller check code “02 : Outdoor block, 1A : Outdoor fan drive system error”
2. Cause
The following causes are considered when the outdoor fan motor does not normally rotate.
1) Mechanical lock of the outdoor fan motor
2) Winding error of the outdoor fan motor
3) Position-detect circuit error inside of the outdoor fan motor
4) Motor drive circuit error of the outdoor P.C. board
3. How to simply judge whether outdoor fan motor is good or bad
Turn OFF the breaker.
Fan motor is normal.
Does the fan rotate without trouble
when rotating it with hands?
Disconnect connector of the outdoor fan motor
from P.C. board, MCC-1436.
(Outdoor P.C. board error)
Fan motor error
YES
YES
NO
NO
If the resistance value between
1 (Red lead)
– 2 (White lead)
2 (White lead) – 3 (Black lead)
3 (Black lead) – 1 (Red lead)
of the connector
(CN300 : Motor winding)
is 13.3 to 16.3
Ω
, it is normal.
NOTE
However, GND circuit error inside of the motor may be accepted in some cases when the above check is
performed.
When the fan motor does not become normal even if P.C. board is replaced, replace the outdoor fan motor.
