Page 35: Troubleshooting (Before Calling For Service)
8. TROUBLESHOOTING (BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE) 8-1. Precautions before Performing Inspection or Repair After checking the self-diagnostics monitor, turn the power OFF before starting inspection or repair. High-capacity electrolytic capacitors are used inside the outdoor unit controller (inverter). They retain an electrical charge (charging voltage DC 310V) even after the power is turned OFF, and some time is required for the charge to dissipate.

Page 41: Trouble Diagnosis Of Fan Motor
8-4. Trouble Diagnosis of Fan Motor 8-4-1. Indoor Fan Motor This indoor DC fan motor contains an internal control PCB. Therefore, it is not possible to measure the coil resistance, and the following procedure should be used to check the motor. To perform diagnosis, operate the unit in cooling mode with indoor fan speed "High".
Page 42: Noise Malfunction And Electromagnetic Interference
8-5. Noise Malfunction and Electromagnetic Interference An inverter A/C operates using pulse signal control and high frequencies. Therefore, it is susceptible to the effects of external noise, and is likely to cause electromagnetic interference with nearby wireless devices. A noise filter is installed for ordinary use, preventing these problems. However, depending on the installation conditions, these effects may still occur.
