Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Turn off the power, then restart the air conditioner.

  2. 2

    Measure the temperature at the compressor's exhaust sensor after startup.

  3. 3

    If the temperature exceeds 110°C shortly after startup, suspect a refrigerant leak or high system load.

    If malfunctions occur after running, but the measured temperature is below 110°C, the discharge sensor may be faulty and need replacement.
