Daikin AC Troubleshooting
The following incidents do not indicate a malfunctioning air conditioner and have explanations. The air conditioner can continue to operate.
Case: Operation does not start soon.
Explanation: This is to protect the air conditioner. You should wait for about 3 minutes.
Case: Hot air does not fl ow out soon after the start of HEAT operation.
Explanation: The air conditioner is warming up. You should wait for 1 to 4 minutes.
Case: The HEAT operation stops suddenly and a flowing sound is heard.
Explanation: The system is taking away the frost on the outdoor unit. You should wait for about 4 to 12 minutes.
Case: The outdoor unit emits water or steam.
Explanation:
- In HEAT operation; The frost on the outdoor unit melts into water or steam when the air conditioner is in defrost operation.
- In COOL or DRY operation; Moisture in the air condenses into water on the cool surface of outdoor unit piping and drips.
Case: Mist comes out of the indoor unit.
Explanation:
- This happens when the air in the room is cooled into mist by the cold airflow during COOL operation.
- This is because the air in the room is cooled by the heat exchanger and becomes mist during defrost operation.
Case: The indoor unit gives out odor
Explanation:
- This happens when smells of the room, furniture, or cigarettes are absorbed into the unit and discharged with the airflow. If this happens, it is recommended to have the indoor unit washed by a technician. Consult the service shop where you purchased the air conditioner.
Case: The outdoor fan rotates while the air conditioner is not in operation.
Explanation:
- After operation is stopped; The outdoor fan continues rotating for another 60 seconds for system protection.
- While the air conditioner is not in operation; When the outdoor temperature is very high, the outdoor fan starts rotating for system protection.
Case: Operation stopped suddenly. (OPERATION lamp is on.)
Explanation: For system protection, the air conditioner may stop operating on a sudden large voltage fluctuation. It automatically resumes operation in about 3 minutes.
Case: No remote controller signals are displayed. Remote controller sensitivity is low. Display is low in contrast or blacked out. Display runs out of control.
Explanation: The batteries are dying and the remote controller is malfunctioning. Replace all the batteries with new size batteries, AAA.LR03 (alkaline). For details, refer to set the batteries of this manual.
Case: Possible sounds.
Explanation:
- Flowing water; Generated because the refrigerant in the air conditioner is flowing. This is a pumping sound of the water in the air conditioner and heard when the water is pumped out from the air conditioner in cooling or drying operation. The refrigerant flows in the air conditioner even if the air conditioner is not working when the indoor units in other rooms are in operation.
- Blowing; Generated when the flow of the refrigerant in the air conditioner is switched over
- Pinging; Generated when the size of the air conditioner slightly expands or shrinks as a result of temperature changes.
Case: The air conditioner does not operate
Check:
- Is a breaker off or a fuse blown?
- Is there a power failure?
- Are batteries set in the remote controller?
- Is the timer setting correct?
Case: Cooling (Heating) effect is poor
Check:
- Are the air fi lters clean?
- Is there anything to block the air inlet or the outlet of the indoor and the outdoor units?
- Is the temperature setting appropriate?
- Are the windows and doors closed?
- Are the airfl ow rate and the airfl ow direction set appropriately?
Case: Operation stopped suddenly
Daikin Vrv Iv Service Manual
Check:
- Are the air fi lters clean?
- Is there anything to block the air inlet or the outlet of the indoor and the outdoor units?
- Clean the air fi lters or take all obstacles away and turn the breaker off. Then turn it on again and try operating the air conditioner with the remote controller. If the lamp still flashes, call the service shop where you purchased the air conditioner.
- Are operation modes all the same for indoor units connected to outdoor units in the multi system?
Case: An abnormal functioning happens during operation
Check: The air conditioner may malfunction with lightning or radio waves. Turn the breaker off, turn it on again and try operating the air conditioner with the remote controller.
Case: The louvers do not immediately swing. The louvers move soon after startup
Check: The air conditioner is adjusting the louvers position. The louvers will start moving soon
