Hi All,
First of all, I must point out I am not an installer, I work for my company as an IT administrator.
I've been asked to look into our failed air-con system in the vain hope? that I might be able to do something about it. This I find unlikely, but I'll tell you what I know and hope someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
I'm OK with 3ph and electricity so can perform most checks.
We have a split system installed, Mitsubishi Heavy, outdoor units are FDC2501 with a mixture of FDT251/631/501 indoor units.
All the control units are showing E3 on the display, and an indication of the outdoor unit.
The green LED is flashing on the indoor unit and also on the outdoor unit, the contactor kicks in OK, but there is no cooling.
The indoor units are running, at least the fans are turning and room temp air is coming from it.
Can't hear the compressor running in the outdoor unit (not the one I am looking at at the moment anyway) We have 5 outdoor units, all split systems feeding multiple indoor units.
I've heard stories of the inverter boards failing or the power transistors blowing perhaps due to a siezed compressor, but at present, I don't quite know where to look.
I suspect it's well out of my league, but the co is refusing to pay to have it repaired by a pro air-con company.
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this.
Feel free to tell me to leave well alone! :)
Many thanks
Chris
