Error Code COMP_LOCATION_DETECTION_ERROR
Inverter cannot detect the compressor rotor position to spin it
Critical
Stop using immediately - risk of damage or safety issue
Also displayed as: Inverter LED indicates error
What This Means
Bad compressor wiring connections; Wrong or out-of-spec value at R308 on inverter board; Compressor or refrigerant cycle problem
What actually causes this:
The inverter board cannot sense the compressor motor's rotor position, which prevents it from starting the motor correctly.
First Thing to Check
Check all wiring connections between the inverter board and the compressor.
Parts Involved
How to Fix
- 1
Check compressor connections at CN102
- 2
Measure R308 on inverter board; expected 0.09Ω
- 3
Inspect compressor and refrigerant cycle
