TROUBLESHOOTING MUZ-GB50VA 11-1. CAUTIONS ON TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Before troubleshooting, check the following 1) Check the power supply voltage. 2) Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire for miswiring. 2. Take care of the following during servicing 1) Before servicing the air conditioner, be sure to turn OFF the main unit first with the remote controller, and after con- firming the horizontal vane is closed, turn off the breaker and/or disconnect the power plug.
11-2. FAILURE MODE RECALL FUNCTION Outline of the function This air conditioner can memorize the abnormal condition which has occurred once. Even though LED indication listed on the troubleshooting check table (11-3.) disappears, the memorized failure details can be recalled. This mode is very useful when the unit needs to be repaired for the abnormality which does not recur.

Page 28
B Check of open phase MUZ-GB50VA- ● With the connector between the compressor and the intelligent power module disconnected, activate the inverter and check if the inverter is normal by measuring the balance of voltage between the terminals. Output voltage is 50 - 130 V. (The voltage may differ according to the tester.) <<...

MUZ-GB50VA- First of all, measure the resistance of R.V. coil to check if the coil is defective. Refer to 11-4. In case CN721 is not connected or R.V. coil is open, voltage is generated between the terminal pins of the connector although any signal is not being transmitted to R.V.
Page 33
I Check of outdoor fan motor Check the connection between the connector CN931 and CN932. Is the resistance between each ter- minal of outdoor fan motor normal? (Refer to 11-4.) Disconnect CN932 from outdoor electronic control P.C. board or the inverter P.C. board, and turn on the power supply. Rotate the outdoor fan motor manually and measure the voltage of CN931.
