Inverter module protection code

Heat pump

What it means

Inverter module protection code shown on digital display; specific description not detailed in this section beyond code table image.

Likely causes

  1. Compressor wiring fault
  2. Power supply phase loss
  3. Faulty inverter power module
  4. Faulty three-phase bridge rectifier (3Ph models)

Where to start

  1. Check specific L** code on digital display panel on the Main Control PCB
  2. Refer to Part 4 Appendix: Guide for identifying inverter PCB failure to determine PCB status before component replacement
  3. Set multimeter to diode test function (secondary tube available)
