Their air conditioning systems are also available in different sizes and configurations. Chigo air conditioning systems can be used for both commercial and residential purposes. But error codes F5 might appear on your screen when you try to use the system. This error can occur when there is an issue with your air conditioning unit or it can occur when there is an issue with your power supply.
Check that the connection between the compressor and the IPM module is reliable, otherwise reconnect it firmly. See if the IPM module is not attached securely to the radiator. Ensure that the compressor works properly, or if it is not, replace it. You can also examine for other defective modules in the IPM control system, otherwise you would need to find a replacement.
If the drive circuit in your air conditioner is faulty, the CHIGO control system will tell you about the problem by flashing a red LED on the panel of your air conditioner. If there is some malfunction in the air conditioner, the LEDs will flash in a certain sequence (order in which the error is detected) to indicate that there is an error. If the air conditioner has detected several errors, the error with the highest priority will be displayed first, followed by all the other errors.
Problems can be caused by poor connections between the drive circuit and the PCB on the outside of the unit. Start by checking that the drive module is connected properly to the main board by checking that there is a connection between the six cores and then try to repair the wiring between the drive module and the outdoor PCB. It is possible that your indoor air conditioner control system may not detect all the errors that were detected on the outdoor board. In that case, consider replacing the outdoor drive board.
Chigo also recommends the following maintenance procedures to keep your air conditioner working at peak efficiency. Firstly, you should scrub the air filter screen regularly. This is something you must do, because a blocked air filter screen will affect the airflow, causing it to be hot/cold.
Besides, if you have a lot of dirt in your filter screen, your air conditioner could fail. So wash the AC screen after using your air conditioner for some time. If you haven't used the unit in a while, do it before you start using it. It's a good rule to wash the air filter screen at least once every two weeks in the case of a regular air conditioner.
