Possible Causes
Failed inverter power module, Incorrect line voltage, Loose DC bus connections, Shorted compressor or fan motor on inverter output
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Inverter systems contain high DC voltages even after power is removed. Only trained personnel should service inverter modules.
- Power down and wait: Turn off the outdoor disconnect and wait at least 10 minutes for DC bus capacitors to discharge.
- Inspect wiring: Check all power and ground connections on the inverter board for tightness and signs of overheating.
- Verify line voltage: Confirm supply voltage is within the specified range for the Fraser‑Johnston inverter unit.
- Check for shorts: A technician should test compressor and fan motor windings for shorts to ground.
- Replace inverter module: If wiring and loads test good, the inverter module may need replacement as a complete assembly.
