Upper lamp blinking 14+ times — Other abnormality detected
An abnormality other than the listed codes is detected, potentially related to indoor or ambient temperature thermistors. Do not restart operation without repair.
Upper lamp blinks 2 times, lower lamp lights on — Refrigerant sensor issue
This symptom indicates a problem with the refrigerant sensor on the indoor unit. It might be disconnected or have a broken wire. The fan may operate, but the unit cannot be controlled by the remote.
Upper lamp blinking twice — Indoor coil or room temperature thermistor issue
This blinking pattern means the indoor coil or room temperature thermistor is experiencing a short or open circuit. The unit will not operate.
Upper lamp blinks 3 times, lower lamp lights on — Refrigerant leak detected
This indicates a potential refrigerant leak detected by the sensor. The unit may emit a buzzer sound, and the fan will operate for an extended period. It cannot be controlled by the remote.
Upper lamp blinking three times — Indoor fan motor signal issue
This indicates that the rotational frequency feedback signal is not being emitted during indoor fan operation. The unit will not run.
Upper lamp blinking four times — Indoor control system memory error
The system cannot properly read data from the non-volatile memory of the indoor electronic control P.C. board. The unit will not operate.
Upper lamp blinking five times — Outdoor power system fault
This occurs if the compressor stops due to overcurrent or startup failure protection three times within one minute of startup. The unit will not operate.
Upper lamp blinking six times — Outdoor thermistor issue
The outdoor thermistors have a short or open circuit during compressor operation. The unit will not run.
Upper lamp blinking seven times — Outdoor control system memory error
The system cannot properly read data from the non-volatile memory of the inverter P.C. board or the outdoor electronic control P.C. board. The unit will not operate.
Upper lamp lights and lower lamp blinks — Operation mode conflict
This indicates that the indoor unit's operation mode is set differently from other indoor units in a multi-system setup. The first unit set has priority. Other units may not operate.
Upper lamp ON, lower lamp blinking — Mode conflict detected
The outdoor unit operates, but the indoor unit does not. This happens when indoor units are set to conflicting modes like COOL (including DRY) and HEAT simultaneously. The first unit to operate sets the priority.
Upper lamp lit — Outdoor unit control system error
The outdoor unit does not operate because the system cannot properly read data from the non-volatile memory of the inverter P.C. board or the outdoor electronic control P.C. board.
Burnt varistor (NR11) and blown fuse (F11) — Indoor power board fault
Both the varistor and the fuse on the indoor power P.C. board have failed. This suggests a significant electrical issue within the indoor unit's power supply.
