Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Electrical measurements should only be done if you are trained and have proper tools.
Steps to check:
- 1. Check for other electrical issues: Flickering lights or tripping breakers in the home may indicate a supply problem. Contact an electrician if present.
- 2. Avoid heavy loads: Do not run large appliances (ovens, dryers) on the same circuit as the air conditioner.
- 3. Inspect wiring: With power OFF, check that the supply cable to the outdoor unit is the correct gauge and that terminals are tight.
When to call a technician: If house voltage is normal but P1 persists, the PCB voltage sensing circuit may be faulty and should be replaced by a technician.
