Sanyo air conditioner troubleshooting

Sanyo air conditioner does not operate

Possible causes:

1. Circuit breaker trips (or fuse blows)

When the circuit breaker is set to ON, it is tripped soon. (Resetting is not possible.)

  • There is a possibility of ground fault.
  • Check insulation resistance.

If resistance value is 2MΩ or less, insulation is defective (“NO”).

Circuit breaker trips in several minutes after turning the air conditioner on.

2. Neither indoor nor outdoor unit runs

Power is not supplied.

Check “OPERATION selector” switch in the indoor unit.

Check remote control unit.

Check fuse on the indoor PCB Ass’y.

Check TIMER on the remote control unit

3. Only outdoor unit does not run

Check setting temperature.

Check PCB Ass’y in either indoor or outdoor unit.

4. Only indoor unit does not run

Sanyo air conditioner indoor fan does not run

Sanyo air conditioner flap motor does not run

Measure resistance of flap motor winding.

Sanyo air conditioner outdoor fan speed control does not work properly

Check thermostat in outdoor unit.

Sanyo air conditioner outdoor fan does not run

Sanyo air conditioner compressor does not run

Sanyo air conditioner does not switch from HEAT to COOL (or COOL to HEAT)

Sanyo air conditioner poor cooling or heating

Sanyo air conditioner excessive cooling or heating

Sanyo air conditioner indoor coil temp. thermistor (TH1) is defective

Operation lamp on the front side of the indoor unit will flash on and off when the indoor coil thermistor is defective. At the same time the outdoor unit will stop. Indoor unit will operate only for ventilation

Sanyo air conditioner room temp thermistor (TH2) is defective

Open:

When thermistor opens, the air conditioner will be in the following conditions as the controller tries to detect extremely low room temperature.

  • In Cooling mode: The air conditioner soon stops and will not start again. (Thermo.OFF) Neither outdoor fan nor compressor runs.
  • In Heating mode: The air conditioner continues to operate (Thermo.ON). Both the outdoor fan and compressor do not stop. As a result, the room becomes too warm.

Short:

When thermistor is short, the air conditioner will be in the following conditions as the controller tries to detect extremely high room temperature.

  • In Cooling mode: The air conditioner continues to operate (Thermo.ON). Both the outdoor fan and compressor do not stop. As a result, the room becomes too cold.
  • In Heating mode: The air conditioner soon stops and will not start again (Thermo.OFF). Neither outdoor fan nor compressor runs.

Definition of Open or Short Circuit of Sensor (Thermistor):

Open: A lead wire is broken or disconnected or the circuit inside the temperature sensor is open.

Short: The protective cover of a lead wire has been damaged, and the exposed wire is touching another metal part, or both lead wires have become exposed and are touching each other. Alternatively, the circuit inside the temperature sensor is closed.
