  • Page 14 If E1 fault has not cleared: # Check the continuity of the red connection wire located on the 50uf capacitor to the “CN3” soldered wiring point on the outdoor main PCB. Caution: Discharge the 50uf capacitor prior to any service work. Red connection wire to 50uf capacitor.
  • Page 15 Caution: Discharge the 50uf capacitor prior to any service work. If E1 fault has not cleared: # Check the continuity of the orange connection wire located on the left hand terminal of (R1815E) reactor to the “CN1” soldered wiring point on the outdoor main PCB. Note: Check the continuity of the reactor.
  • Page 16 If E1 fault has not cleared: # Check the continuity of the wire that connects to the reactor (R1502) spade terminal located to the rear of the outdoor unit, too the two terminal relay located under the main outdoor PCB. Note: Check the continuity of the reactor.
