Malfunction Decision Conditions

  • When indoor heat exchanger is cold during heating (except deice) or when indoor heat exchanger is hot during cooling and compressor operating, the 4-way valve is detected as malfunction.

Malfunction Caused

  • Indoor heat exchanger (pipe) thermistor
  • 4-way valve malfunction

Troubleshooting

When abnormality starts again
Caution For safety reason and to prevent component breakdown, always switch off the power before remove and connect the component.
Check the indoor pipe temperature thermistor:
• Plug out connector (CN-TH) from the indoor unit PCB
• Measure the resistance of the indoor heat exchanger temperature thermistor
Is the measured resistance of the indoor pipe temperature thermistor matches the value specified in its characteristic chart?
NO
NO
  • Defect in indoor pipe temperature thermistor
  • Replace the indoor pipe temperature thermistor
YES
Problem occurs in heating mode only?
YES
If YES (Heating mode only)
4-way valve not working
(not energize)
4 WAYS VALVE
---- YELLOW ---- [ CN-HOT ]
---- YELLOW ---- [ (WHT) ]
COIL COMPLETE
NO, it happen in cooling/dry as well
If NO (happens in cooling/dry as well)
Is 4-way solenoid valve being energised?
YES
YES
Outdoor PCB fault
  • Replace Outdoor PCB
NO
The 4-way valve may have been damaged or wrongly connected between discharge and suction tube
• Check connecting tubes to 4-way valve
Check CN-HOT connection
(4-way valve connector)
No
Good
No Good
  • Reconnect CN-HOT
    (4-way valve connector)
OK
Check V-coil attach to solenoid valve
No
Good
No Good
  • Attach and screw the V-coil to solenoid valve
OK
Check valve v-coil continuity
No
continuity
(open)
No continuity (open)
V-coil fault
  • Replace V-coil only
[ Multimeter ]

( Measure V-Coil )

OK
Remove CN-HOT.
Measure continuity
of the coil
Measure voltage supplied to CH-HOT at the start of heating
OK (Depending on 4-way valve model)
OK (Depending on 4-way valve model)
Reverse solenoid valve faulty
  • Replace the 4-way valve
No supply
Outdoor PCB fault
  • Replace Outdoor PCB
* Check gas side pipe – for hot gas flow in cooling mode
