Possible Causes

Sensor resistance drift due to age, Poor thermal contact between sensor and coil, Partial short in sensor wiring, Indoor PCB analog input fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing the indoor coil and PCB.

  • Step 1 – Check sensor mounting:
    • Locate the evaporator sensor clipped to the coil.
    • Ensure it is firmly attached and not hanging loose.
  • Step 2 – Inspect wiring:
    • Look for pinched or rubbed-through insulation where the sensor wires pass through metal.
    • Secure loose wires with cable ties to prevent vibration damage.
  • Step 3 – Replace sensor if suspect:
    • If the unit is older or the sensor shows signs of discoloration or cracking, replace it with a Hisense-compatible T1 sensor.
  • Step 4 – PCB evaluation: If a new sensor does not resolve F1, the indoor PCB may be misreading the sensor and should be tested or replaced by a technician.
