What does E39 mean?

The compressor discharge temperature sensor (ThOD) is defective (open circuit resistance) or has a poor connection on the outdoor unit PCB. This can lead to incorrect discharge temperature monitoring, potentially causing compressor damage.

Common Causes

  • Compressor discharge temperature sensor (ThOD, e.g., P18) is defective.
  • Poor electrical connection to the ThOD sensor.
  • Sensor value is abnormal or unstable.
  • Damaged wiring connecting the sensor.
  • Overheating condition detected by the sensor.
