F1 error code is a communication failure between the outdoor and indoor units. Check all inter-connecting wires. They should be minimum 14g stranded wire. Make sure all electrical connections are tight. These units are manufactured by CHIGO, you may try to contact them.

F3 error code kenwood 04 ton ac

The Possible Causes of the errors are:-
Wiring Mistake or Wiring Problem
Bad Sensor or not work properly
Bad PCB Board on your ac

The PCB computer board that controls a mini split is having a problem seeing the correct voltage from the sensors it uses.

The wiring and many sensors need to be checked to see if they are malfunctioning.

Indoor room temperature sensor.
To troubleshoot a unit the location of the many sensors will need to be known.

This information can be found in the manual for the unit and depending on the manufacturer may be available from their website.

It is also possible that the PCB board has gone bad.
If after testing all the sensors and wiring and they show good this usually points to a bad PCB board.

Another thing that can cause problems is a unit wired wrong or wiring that has a short or open.
Most often these errors require a technician and will be outside the average home DIY job.

I have a 2008 samsung mini split mho50fxca2a with a I trip pfc overcurrent error what is this and where to start? also shows e4 67 which is compressor rotation error?

Your 2 errors are most likely related to the compressor itself and the power supply feeding it. If the system is an inverter system, there is usually an "inverter board" or power control board that sends high voltage (usually in DC rectified voltage) to the compressor. If the board is not functioning correctly or if there is an issue with the compressor, it may cause a reverse rotation error along with the power error. Additionally, the compressor itself may have failed and may have shorted or welded windings. This condition can be especially dangerous due to the potential of electricity arcing and the possibility of refrigerant loss. If you are not a technician trained to work on the equipment, I would NOT advise attempting a repair. Some of the power supplies in those units can discharge over 300v DC and there are quite a few components that can cause serious injury. I would call a technician to diagnose the issue.

I just installed a Carrier Mini-Split and am getting an E2 error code. I have already replaced both boards in the outdoor unit IMP and Main PC with no luck. Any suggestions?

This is a Zero crossing detection error. This is alarm signal when the main chip can't detect over zero signal. When such failure occurs, the main control board must have fault.

My Soleus KFCHP mini-split air conditioner won't cool. Displays error F1: "the communication faults between the indoor and outdoor units." Tried tightening the connections indoors and out. Advice?

Cheryl, the first thing to do with this and any communication error is to cycle power on the unit. You could just be experiencing a blip in the control circuit that many times resets itself with a cycling of incoming power.

FI error message from both drawers. We had a

F1 indicates flood fault. There is no reset, machine thinks it has flooded. If machine was running OK until electrical storm, then it could have shorted the mains filter control board (DD603 models-this mains filter board also acts as flood switch), although this is unlikely to have shorted. More common is dishwasher has had a leak causing F1 fault, or corrosion on mains filter board . Open bottom drawer and shine torch underneath to see if there is any water in the base of the cabinet- if yes, machine has leaked and activated flood switch. If not, flood switch board may be faulty.
Unfortunately, access to this flood switch control is permitted only by removal of the bottom drawer- recommend calling technician unless very keen!! If keen, read on!!
-To remove drawer- there is a tag at the bottom front on each side of drawer when you open it -just below the round plastic plug. You need to push this tag in and slide backwards on each side, then drawer will lift out-Careful as hoses and wiring still attached, but long enough to allow access. Mains filter control board is located under plastic cover at left rear- press tag on plastic cover and slide to the right- you will now see small electronic board. This is the mains filter board that doubles as the flood switch. It is held in place by 1 screw- you need to remove wires from board before removing it). Check circuit board for corrosion or evidence of short circuit- if so, replace circuit board.
Good luck, but advise seeking professional help unless you very confident!!
