Possible Causes
Failed outdoor ambient sensor, Sensor exposed to direct sunlight or heat source, Loose or corroded connector, Faulty outdoor PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before servicing.
- Step 1 – Locate ambient sensor: On Senville outdoor units, the ambient sensor is usually near the air intake grille, not touching the coil.
- Step 2 – Check placement: Ensure it is not taped to hot surfaces or in direct sunlight. It should sense outdoor air temperature.
- Step 3 – Inspect wiring: Check for damage and reseat the connector on the PCB.
- Step 4 – Replace sensor: Install a new Senville outdoor ambient sensor if faulty.
- Step 5 – Test: Restore power and verify normal operation without F5.
