How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Warning: This fault can indicate serious compressor or refrigerant issues. Do not repeatedly reset and run the unit.
Homeowner checks:
- 1. Clean outdoor coil and ensure airflow: Remove debris and ensure clearances.
- 2. Listen for compressor noise: Loud humming without starting or tripping quickly suggests a mechanical compressor problem.
If F97 persists, a technician must evaluate compressor condition, refrigerant charge, and inverter PCB.
