Refrigerant Shortage
Error Code
U0
Method of Error
Detection
Refrigerant shortage detection I :
Refrigerant shortage is detected by checking the input current value and the compressor output
frequency. If the refrigerant is short, the input current is lower than the normal value.
Refrigerant shortage detection II :
Refrigerant shortage is detected by checking the discharge pipe temperature and the opening of
the outdoor electronic expansion valve. If the refrigerant is short, the discharge pipe
temperature tends to rise.
Error Decision
