Daikin E5 Error and Weird Issue.
Model - RXYMQ48PVJU
I found this unit with a grounded compressor and burned PCB. Replaced both and initiated a testrun followed by a shutdown on code E5. I checked the stopvalves, incoming power, and all connections including compressor wiring for correct orientation. I also checked to make sure the refrigerant was equalized.
Here's what happens:
I have an amp meter clamped on one of the lines. The unit will initiate compressor start and will drive to about 5 amps go up to about 18 amps, ramp back down to about 5 amps, and back up again. This all happens within 5-10 seconds. Unit will initiate a slight delay and start the process over again. Every time the compressor attempts to start, it will visibly shudder.
I don't have an inverter checker, however I used Mode 2 28 to test the phase balance. All measured about 9 V.A.C. (It seems kinda low but Daikin says okay).
I really can't believe a new compressor would be DOA, but I suppose it's possible.
Any ideas or other things to check?

Re: Daikin E5 Error and Weird Issue.
I assume the burnt PCB was the inverter pcb.
Have you checked all of the tests on the pcb as detailed in the service manual? https://bit.ly/2sIhR3xBrian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Re: Daikin E5 Error and Weird Issue.
Did you make sure to reconnect the compressor terminals as you found them?
You may have phase connections incorrect

Re: Daikin E5 Error and Weird Issue.
Thought I should follow up with this.
I checked the Inverter board as per the manual. I believe the P + N wires are the same as the test points C+ & C- on the board?
Board all checked out. Replaced compressor and started right up. Probably very rare, but the new out of box compressor was bad.
I purchased an EDC inverter checker, but could only get three of the leds to light up on this particular unit. I then used it on a known good unit and none of the leds lit up at all. Since it's 3 phase AC coming out, I assume the test leads shouldn't matter in how they are connected. The only thing I can think of is when the system is put into transistor test mode or started on a regular cooling cycle, the voltage is too low to fire off the leds. I know the tester has internal resistors in the circuit. Disappointed this tool didn't work for me.

3 phase AC coming out you can check with the True RMS multi meter.

Thanks for the update RJ.
