Possible Causes
Refrigerant leak in indoor or outdoor coil, Blocked capillary or expansion device, Faulty low-pressure switch (if equipped), Defective pressure sensor or PCB interpretation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Critical: Refrigerant handling must be done by an F-gas certified technician. Do not attempt to open the sealed system yourself.
- Visual inspection: Look for oil stains on the indoor and outdoor coils and connections of your Olimpia Splendid unit, which can indicate leaks.
- Check airflow: Ensure filters and coils are clean and fans are operating correctly; poor airflow can mimic low-pressure conditions.
- Reset power: Turn off the unit for 10 minutes and restart. If F6 returns quickly, a genuine refrigerant or sensor issue is likely.
- Professional service: Contact an authorized Olimpia Splendid service center to perform leak detection, pressure checks, and recharge if necessary. They can also test/replace the low-pressure switch or sensor.
