Method of
Malfunction
Detection
Excessive charging of refrigerant is detected by using the heat exchanging deicer temperature
during a check operation.

Troubleshooting
∗
Refer to “Thermistor Resistance / Temperature Characteristics” table on P405.
Caution
Be sure to turn off power switch before connect or disconnect connector,
or parts damage may be occurred.
Remove the heat
exchanging deicer
thermister from the outdoor
PCB and measure
resistance with a tester.
Check the mounting
condition of the temperature
sensors of the heat
exchanging deicer
thermistor in the piping.
