    Reset unit and enter Test Mode 1 (push test button 1 time).

  3. 3

    Check if condenser fan visibly rotates — if not, proceed.

  4. 4

    Measure fan control signal voltage at CON3 pins 3–1: expected 0V < voltage < 5V. If not in range, replace Main PCB.

  5. 5

    Measure fan feedback voltage at CON3 pins 3–1: expected 0V < voltage < 5V. If not in range, replace condenser fan motor.

  6. 6

    Manually spin condenser fan — if sticky, replace condenser fan motor.

    If all voltages and rotation are correct: explain to customer.
