Possible Causes
Open or shorted condenser NTC sensor, Sensor detached from condenser coil, Damaged sensor harness, Faulty outdoor PCB sensor circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate power to the outdoor unit before opening panels.
- Step 1 – Locate condenser sensor: It is typically clipped to the condenser coil tubing or attached to the coil fins.
- Step 2 – Verify mounting: Ensure the sensor is in firm contact with the coil. Reattach if loose.
- Step 3 – Inspect wiring: Look for corrosion or damage along the sensor wires and at the PCB connector.
- Step 4 – Replace sensor: Install a new TCL condenser temperature sensor if the original is faulty.
- Step 5 – Replace PCB if needed: If F4 remains, the outdoor PCB may need replacement.
Warning: Do not bend or damage the condenser tubes while working around the coil.
