F1
Meaning: Abnormal compressor startup. This could include phase loss or reverse rotation.
Likely Cause: 1. Incorrect wiring to the compressor.
2. Faulty or underperforming PCB board.
Try This First:
Before you begin, confirm whether the fault is persistent or intermittent:
- On the indoor unit remote control, press the Display button 9 times.
- You should hear a chime from the indoor unit and see the data code cycle on the display.
- Once you hear the chime, power OFF both AC and DC supplies.
- Unplug the main AC power source. To shut off the circuit breaker, simply flip the fuse to the OFF position, or remove it entirely from the box.
- Disconnect the MC4 solar (DC) cable.
- *Note: If you’ve installed a DC breaker switch, you can isolate the DC circuit by simply turning it OFF instead of unplugging the MC4 connectors.
- If your heat pump runs on battery power, disconnect the DC Booster at both ends.
- Wait 1 minute, then reconnect the MC4 cables and switch the AC circuit breaker back on by reconnecting the fuse in the ON position.
- Power the unit back ON using the remote.
- Turn the unit OFF, and then ON again to confirm whether the F1 error has cleared.
If the F1 error remains, please contact Ecosolaris or your local dealer or installer for further troubleshooting and repair.
