Read official manufacturer referenceWhat can you try safely?
Only follow steps approved for your specific model; stop if the fault indicates an unsafe condition.
- 01
Verify the exact displayed code and model
Photograph the exact error code and the indoor unit model label. This definition is documented for the ATXC-B model family, not every Daikin air conditioner.
How to interpret the result: Do not use a code definition for a different model.
- 02
Stop unsafe operation
Stop forcing operation if the error repeats. If there is a burning smell, smoke, visible electrical damage or unusual noise, switch off safely and request service.
How to interpret the result: Stop immediately if there is smoke, an electrical fault or a leak.
- 03
Try the safe external check
If a breaker trips or wiring is damaged, stop using the unit and have a qualified person check the supply.
How to interpret the result: This check may not repair an internal component.
- 04
Evaluate whether repair is needed
If the code persists, stop using the unit and provide the model and code to a qualified technician. Do not guess which part to replace.
How to interpret the result: If the fault repeats, specialist diagnosis is required.
How is the fault resolved?
