4.16 Discharge Pipe Temperature Control
Error Code F3
Method of Error
Detection
An error is determined with the temperature detected by the discharge pipe thermistor.
Error Decision
Conditions
 If the temperature detected by the discharge pipe thermistor rises above A, the compressor
stops.
 The error is cleared when the discharge pipe temperature has dropped below B.
 If the error repeats, the system is shut down.
 Reset condition: Continuous run for about 60 minutes without any other error
 If the frequency drops, the temperature is lowered in compensation.
Supposed
Causes
 Defective discharge pipe thermistor
(Defective outdoor heat exchanger thermistor or outdoor temperature thermistor)
 Defective electronic expansion valve or coil
 Refrigerant shortage
 Defective four way valve
 Water mixed in refrigerant
 Defective stop valve
 Defective outdoor unit PCB

Check No.01 Refer to P.112
Check No.12 Refer to P.114
Check No.14 Refer to P.115
