Aircon showing an error code? Look it up here.
Select your brand and fault code to get guidance on what the code means, what's safe to check, and when to contact a technician.
How to use this tool
Use this lookup to understand what a code usually points to and what is safe to check first. This tool gives general guidance only — it cannot confirm which part has failed. If you need help now, contact us now.
Safety warning
Stop using the unit and contact a technician if the breaker trips repeatedly, you smell burning, see sparks, hear loud electrical buzzing, or water is leaking from places it normally should not.
