When your "timer" light blinks, it is not that your timer is faulty. Most manufacturer uses any of the LED lights blinking to
indicate a faulty air conditioning system.
"Inverter" air conditioner is more powerful when in comes to error code, because the indoor unit and outdoor unit were
already linked up and communicating, a non-inverter condenser simply accepts a 230vac voltage to start turning the
compressor and fan, so the indoor and outdoor is not really "communicating".

If your DAIKIN remote controller comes with a "test" button, use it. Otherwise press the Temperature UP, Temperature
DOWN and the MODE buttons all at the same time.
You will see 00 on the remote controller. The first "0" will be blinking.
Stand facing the particular air conditioner you wanted to test.
Now press the Temperature UP button, "0" will become "A" and the air conditioner will respond with either a single beep or
double beep.
Carry on pressing the Temperature UP button and listen to the beeping sound, stop when you hear a double beep.
For example: it is now showing "C0".
Now press the MODE button, the second "0" will be blinking.
Now press the Temperature UP button, "0" will become "1" and the air conditioner will respond with either a double beep
or a continuous beep.
The continuous beep is the error code. For example "C4", it means it is a faulty liquid pipe thermistor.
Note: Please use this wonderful feature provided by DAIKIN to have a rough idea of what is the problem with your system,
it is especially useful if yours is an inverter.
Mitsubishi (Mr Slim) error codes:
The Mr. Slim error code is represented by the number of blinks on the LED (light emitting diode), rather, those lights you
see on the air conditioner:
Samsung error codes:
The Samsung wall mounted air conditioner error code is represented by blinks on the different LEDs (light emitting
diode), rather, those lights you see on the air conditioner, quite logical indeed:
LG (lmn 2065c3l)
The lmn2065c3l error code is represented by the number of blinks on the LED (light emitting diode), rather, those lights
you see on the air conditioner:
Hitachi (Ras-model) error codes:
The ras model error code is represented by the number of blinks on the LED (light emitting diode), rather, those lights
you see on the air conditioner:
Sanyo (inverter, sap kmv series) error codes:
The above model error code is represented by the combination of blinks and lighted LED on the 3 different LED (light
emitting diode), operation, swing and timer.
* blinking
0 lighted up
Fujitsu (hard wired series)
When EE:EE is displayed, press "energy save" and "zone control" simultaneously for about 5 secs. The lcd display will
display the relevant error code.
