Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
Also displayed as: LED 83 blink / 3 blinks on Inverter LED
What This Means
Compressor connector CN04 unplugged or loose; Current sensing resistor R1 defective or mis-assembled; Compressor mechanical fault; Refrigeration cycle restriction
What actually causes this:
The compressor connector has come loose, or a sensing component on the inverter board has failed, giving the board a false current reading.
First Thing to Check
Check that the compressor wiring connector (CN04) is firmly and fully seated.
Parts Involved
How to Fix
- 1
