How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting wiring.
- Check settings: Ensure the unit is set to COOL or HEAT with a target temperature lower (for cool) or higher (for heat) than room temperature.
- Inspect communication cable: Verify the multi-core cable between indoor and outdoor units is intact and correctly wired.
- Listen for outdoor relay click: When starting cooling, listen near the outdoor unit for relay operation. No sound may indicate PCB failure.
- Check outdoor power: Confirm that the outdoor unit is receiving mains power at its terminals.
- If outdoor still does not start: A technician should test the outdoor PCB and compressor circuit.
