Hi All,
Has anyone come across the “double beep” problem on a Toshiba Inverter? I have a RAV-SM562/SM802 which has a strange problem. After several hours in heating mode it shuts down completely. No lights on, air flap closed - but the remote still shows a normal display. When I try to turn it on all I get is a double beep. The service techs checked it over and diagnosed a faulty pcb (unit is 5yrs old - just out of warranty!). Fitted new pcb ($960 ouch!), worked for a few days then same fault. Techs said Toshiba told them indoor pcb not compatible with new pcb so fitted new indoor and outdoor pcbs. Worked ok for 3 weeks then same fault again!! The unit seems to work in cooling mode but when you change mode to auto or heating all you get is double beep and operation and timer lights blinking. I can't believe 3 pcbs (original and two new) can fail with same fault in 3 weeks but no one seems to have any idea what the fault is. Any help or suggestions much appreciated.
