Verify Before Replacing Parts

  1. Confirm the exact Daikin model family and chiller context before acting on a generic code description.
  2. Verify airflow first, then confirm operating pressures and temperature relationship before adjusting charge, since shortage of gas.
  3. Look for restrictions, iced coils, or dirty heat-transfer surfaces that can mimic a charge problem, and separately confirm defective discharge pipe thermistor.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the chiller fault does not return under normal load.
