Possible Causes

Reversed or miswired communication cable, Loose terminal screws, Damaged interconnecting cable, Faulty indoor or outdoor PCB communication circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening terminal covers.

Steps:

  • 1. Verify wiring order: Confirm that terminals 1-2-3 (and earth) are wired identically between indoor and outdoor units.
  • 2. Tighten terminals: Check all screws for tightness; loose connections can cause intermittent F11.
  • 3. Inspect cable: Look for damage along the cable route, especially where it passes through walls or conduits.

If F11 continues after wiring checks, a technician should test the communication circuit and replace the faulty PCB.
