Possible Causes

Drifted NTC sensor, Sensor not positioned in airflow, Loose sensor connector, Faulty indoor PCB ADC circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before removing covers.

Steps:

  • Locate sensor: Find the room temperature sensor near the air intake grille. Ensure it is not buried in insulation or touching metal surfaces.
  • Reposition: Clip or tape the sensor so it is exposed to return air, not directly to the coil or casing.
  • Check connection: Reseat the sensor connector on the PCB.
  • Replace sensor: If F1 persists, replace the indoor ambient NTC sensor. If a new sensor does not resolve the issue, the indoor PCB may be defective.
