| Ⅱ Unit operates but soon stops (full stop) | A. Unit operates but soon stops (full stop) | Refer the Alarm list (page 3-27) | — |
| B. Evaporator fan runs, but condenser fan and compressor stop soon. | Thermo OFF (normal) | — | |
| C. Compressor runs, but condenser fan and evaporator fan stop. | Defrost (normal) | — | |
