Possible Causes
Stuck swing louver motor, jammed louver mechanism, faulty indoor fan motor feedback, incorrect mode selection on multi-split systems
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before touching moving parts.
Steps:
- Reset mode: On multi-split Kelvinator systems, ensure all indoor units are set to compatible modes (e.g., all cooling or all fan). Conflicting modes can trigger E7.
- Check louver movement: With power on, start the unit and observe the swing louver. If it does not move or makes clicking noises, turn off power and inspect.
- Inspect louver mechanism: Remove the front panel and gently move the louver by hand. Look for broken plastic gears or obstructions.
- Check swing motor connection: Locate the small swing motor on the side of the louver assembly. Ensure its connector is firmly seated on the PCB.
- Replace swing motor if faulty: If the motor is seized or gears are stripped, replace the swing motor assembly with a Kelvinator-compatible part.
- Indoor fan check: If the code refers to fan feedback, ensure the indoor fan spins freely and the motor connector is secure.
