16.4.6 H19 (Indoor Fan Motor – DC Motor Mechanism Locked)
Malfunction Decision Conditions
The rotation speed detected by the Hall IC during fan motor operation is used to determine abnormal fan motor
(feedback of rotation > 2550 rpm or < 50 rpm)
Malfunction Caused
Operation stops due to short circuit inside the fan motor winding.
Operation stops due to breaking of wire inside the fan motor.
Operation stops due to breaking of fan motor lead wires.
Operation stops due to Hall IC malfunction.
Operation error due to faulty indoor unit PCB.
