How are we going to help you fix the U4 error code of your Daikin air conditioner?
Here's a list of possible solutions to fix the U4 error code on Daikin air conditioners. Do not skip any of them and follow them to the letter, you will likely find the solution to your problem:
- Turn off and disconnect from the power supply the air conditioner to reset its sensors: Let's apply a reset of the air conditioner, which is the easiest thing we can do to try to solve the problem. To do this, what we have to do is turn off the air conditioner and disconnect it from the power supply for a few minutes. Once the time has passed, reconnect the equipment and turn it on to check if the U4 error code has disappeared.
- Check the electrical wiring that connects the indoor and outdoor units of your Daikin air conditioner: This wiring must be in very good condition without exception. Visually inspect all this wiring and look for damage if any. Make sure that no cable is broken, cut, burnt, disconnected, or charred. If you find cables in poor condition, you will have to replace them with new ones or make the necessary repairs.
- Verify the connections of the wiring in the indoor and outdoor units of your air conditioner: These connections must be in perfect condition to function correctly. Check and make sure that all connections are well tightened and free of dirt or dust. Sometimes these connections corrode due to the humidity generated by the air conditioner itself, in which case we recommend applying an electronic cleaner on the contacts and cleaning everything well with a brush to remove the corrosion.
- If the problem persists, please repeat all the previous steps and make sure to follow everything to the letter: If the previous solutions do not work, it is possible that the PCB electronic cards of one of the units, the power supply, or the temperature sensor have a somewhat complicated problem to solve. In that case, you would have to do a more thorough review or leave the problem in the hands of experts. If you think this could be your case, then we recommend that you contact an authorized Daikin service technician. Keep in mind that if you want to continue checking the air conditioner on your own, you need to have extensive knowledge in electronics, as well as the appropriate tools to carry out this entire review.
