Possible Causes
Room temperature below minimum setpoint, Ambient sensor reading too low due to fault, Sensor located in a cold draft
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Steps:
- Verify room temperature: If the room is genuinely cold, the unit may not allow cooling mode. Try FAN mode instead.
- Check sensor placement: Ensure the ambient thermistor is not touching a cold metal surface or located in a direct cold draft from another appliance.
- Inspect and test sensor: If LO appears in a warm room, test and replace the ambient sensor as described for E1/F1.
Note: Persistent incorrect LO readings with a good sensor indicate a control board issue.
