1 Indoor unit fan 
lock
Operation stops if there is no 
input of rotation pulse signal 
from indoor unit fan motor for 1 
minute.
When indoor unit fan is 
in operation
Operation OFF or ON

1 Yes None
Indoor unit fan ro-
tation speed error
Operation stops if rotation pulse 
signal from indoor unit fan in-
dicates abnormally low speed 
(about 300 rpm or slower).
When indoor unit fan is 
in operation
Operation OFF or ON
ۼ
1 Yes None
2 Indoor unit freeze 
prevention
Compressor stops if temperature 
remains below 0°C for 4 min-
utes.
When in cooling or de-
humidifying operation
Automatic reset when 
heat exchanger temper-
ature rises above freeze 
prevention temperature 
(2°C or higher)
- None None
3 2-way valve 
freeze prevention
Compressor stops if tempera-
ture of outdoor unit 2-way valve 
remains below 0°C for 10 contin-
uous minutes during cooling or 
dehumidifying operation.
When in cooling or de-
humidifying operation
Automatic reset when 
temperature of 2-way 
valve rises above 10°C.
None Yes Yes
4 Indoor unit heat 
exchanger over-
heat shutdown
Operating frequency lowers 
if indoor unit heat exchanger 
temperature exceeds overheat 
temperature during heating op-
eration.
Compressor stops if indoor unit 
heat exchanger temperature ex-
ceeds overheat temperature for 
60 seconds at minimum frequen-
cy.Overheat temperature setting 
value indoor unit heat exchanger 
thermistor temperature: about 45 
to 54°C
When in heating opera-
tion
Automatic reset after 
safety period (180 sec).
None Yes Yes
5 Outdoor unit heat 
exchanger over-
heat shutdown
Operation frequency lowers if 
outdoor unit heat exchanger 
temperature exceeds about 
55°C during cooling operation.
Compressor stops if outdoor unit 
heat exchanger temperature 
exceeds about 55°C for 120 sec-
onds at minimum frequency.
When in cooling or de-
humidifying operation
Automatic reset after 
safety period (180 sec).
None Yes Yes
6 Compressor dis-
charge overheat 
shutdown
Operating frequency lowers 
if temperature of compressor 
chamber thermistor (TH1) falls 
below about 110°C.
Compressor stops if temperature 
of compressor chamber ther-
mistor (TH1) remains at about 
110°C (for 120 seconds in cool-
ing operation, or 60 seconds in 
heating operation) at minimum 
frequency.
When compressor is in 
operation
Automatic reset after 
safety period (180 sec).
None Yes Yes
7 Dehumidifying 
operation tempo-
rary stop
Compressor stops if outside air 
temperature thermistor is lower 
than about 16°C during dehu-
midify-ing operation.
When in dehumidifying 
operation
Automatic reset when 
outside air temperature 
rises above 16°C.
None Yes Yes
8 DC overcurrent 
error
Compressor stops if DC current 
 
IPM.
When compressor is in 
operation
Operation OFF or ON Yes 
ۼ
2 Yes Yes
9 AC overcurrent 
error
Operating frequency lowers if 
outdoor AC current exceeds 
peak control current value. out-
door stops if compressor AC 
current exceeds peak control 
current value at minimum fre-
quency.
When compressor is in 
operation
Operation OFF or ON Yes
