System Overview

Understanding the major components and their functions in Fujitsu air conditioning systems.

  1. Compressor: Heart of the refrigeration cycle, circulates refrigerant
  2. Condenser Coil: Releases heat to outside environment
  3. Evaporator Coil: Absorbs heat from indoor air
  4. Expansion Valve: Regulates refrigerant flow and pressure
  5. Fan Motors: Circulate air across coils
  6. Control Board: Manages system operation and safety features
  7. Thermostat: Monitors and controls temperature settings

WARNING! Never bypass safety devices or operate system with covers removed. High voltage and refrigerant under pressure present serious hazards.

Diagnostic Procedures

Systematic approach to identifying and diagnosing common air conditioner problems.

  1. Visual Inspection: Check for physical damage, leaks, or obstructions
  2. Electrical Testing: Verify voltage, current, and continuity
  3. Pressure Testing: Check refrigerant pressures at service ports
  4. Temperature Measurement: Verify temperature differentials
  5. Error Code Analysis: Interpret LED flashes or display codes
  6. Component Testing: Test individual components for proper function
  7. System Performance: Evaluate cooling/heating capacity

CAUTION! Always use proper testing equipment and follow manufacturer's specifications for all measurements.

Technical Specifications

Error Code Reference

Common error codes and their meanings for Fujitsu air conditioning systems.

LED Flash Patterns: 1 flash - Communication error, 2 flashes - Indoor unit sensor error, 3 flashes - Drain pump error, 4 flashes - Fan motor error, 5 flashes - Outdoor unit error.

Display Codes: E0 - Protection device activated, E1 - PCB error, E2 - Sensor error, E3 - Drain level error, E4 - High pressure protection, E5 - Anti-freeze protection, E6 - Fan motor lock, E7 - Four-way valve error, E8 - Compressor error, E9 - Electrical component error.

Component Replacement

Step-by-step procedures for replacing major components.

  1. Disconnect power and recover refrigerant if necessary
  2. Document wiring connections and take photos
  3. Remove mounting hardware and electrical connections
  4. Install new component following reverse procedure
  5. Verify proper installation and electrical safety
  6. Evacuate and recharge system if refrigerant was recovered
  7. Test system operation and verify performance

Tip: Always use genuine Fujitsu replacement parts to ensure compatibility and warranty coverage.

Refrigerant Handling

Proper procedures for handling, recovering, and charging refrigerant.

  1. Recovery: Use approved recovery machine and cylinders
  2. Evacuation: Achieve vacuum of 500 microns or better
  3. Charging: Weigh in correct refrigerant amount by model
  4. Leak Testing: Use electronic leak detector or bubble solution
  5. Pressure Testing: Verify system holds pressure before charging
  6. Documentation: Record refrigerant type and amount used
  7. Disposal: Follow EPA guidelines for refrigerant disposal

WARNING! R410A operates at higher pressures than R22. Use dedicated R410A gauges and equipment. Never mix refrigerants.

Electrical System

Understanding and troubleshooting the electrical components.

Main Components: Power supply circuit, Control board, Compressor contactor, Fan relays, Sensors (thermistor, pressure), Capacitors (run/start), Transformers, Communication wiring.

Testing Procedures: Voltage measurement at terminals, Continuity testing of windings, Capacitance measurement, Resistance checks, Ground fault detection, Communication signal verification.

Preventive Maintenance

Routine maintenance procedures to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Cleaning: Evaporator and condenser coils, Drain pans and lines, Air filters, Fan blades. Inspection: Electrical connections, Refrigerant lines, Mounting hardware, Insulation. Testing: Temperature differential, Airflow measurement, Electrical consumption, System pressures.

CAUTION! Always disconnect power before performing maintenance. Use proper cleaning solutions and avoid damaging delicate fins.

Regulatory Compliance

Fujitsu air conditioners comply with UL 484 standards for room air conditioners, EPA Section 608 for refrigerant handling, and ENERGY STAR requirements for energy efficiency. All technicians must be EPA certified for refrigerant handling. Fujitsu is a registered trademark of Fujitsu General Limited.
