17.4.6 Refrigerant Leakage Detection diagnosis and solution (EC)
Define the evaporator coil temperature T2 of the compressor
starts running as Tcool.
If the following occurs 3 times, the display shows "EC" and the
unit switches off:
In the first 8 minutes after the compressor starts up, if T2 <
Tcool-2℃ is not maintained for 4 seconds and compressor
running frequency is not higher than 50Hz for 3 minutes
● Faulty T2 sensor
● Faulty indoor PCB
● System problems, such as leakage or blockages
Trouble shooting:
Is there cool air blowing
out from indoor air outlet?
Yes
Yes
Check the T2
sensor. Is it
securely attached?
