What It Means

Reports a general fault in the outdoor/condenser fan motor circuit — most often the fan failing to start, rotate, or reach commanded speed, detected through motor current or feedback rather than a discrete overcurrent threshold.

Possible Causes

  • Fan motor winding failure or seized bearing.
  • Harness or connector between the fan motor and PCB disconnected or damaged.
  • Foreign debris or ice blocking the fan blade.
  • Failed run capacitor on single-phase fan motors, or a failed driver module on EC fans.
  • Blown fuse or tripped breaker feeding the fan circuit.

Full Diagnosis

Reports a general fault in the outdoor/condenser fan motor circuit — most often the fan failing to start, rotate, or reach commanded speed, detected through motor current or feedback rather than a discrete overcurrent threshold. On this chiller, that differs from 72, which is a specific overcurrent trip on the System No. 2 fan circuit, and from H7, which reports a lost or corrupted feedback signal from the fan motor rather than the motor failing to run at all. Loss of condenser fan airflow will typically drive the affected circuit toward a high-pressure trip if not corrected.

All Recorded Causes

Fan motor winding failure or seized bearing. Harness or connector between the fan motor and PCB disconnected or damaged. Foreign debris or ice blocking the fan blade. Failed run capacitor on single-phase fan motors, or a failed driver module on EC fans. Blown fuse or tripped breaker feeding the fan circuit.

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 fan motor winding failure or seized bearing.
  3. Look for restrictions, iced coils, or dirty heat-transfer surfaces that can mimic a charge problem, and separately confirm harness or connector between the fan motor and PCB disconnected or damaged.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the chiller fault does not return under normal load.
