Gree Air-conditioners Error C5

What does the error code C5 mean that affects your Gree air conditioner?

Air conditioners have become an essential element in many homes and offices, providing much-needed relief during hot seasons. However, like any other electronic device, they can experience errors that may affect their operation. One of these is the error code C5 that affects Gree brand air conditioners.

This type of error is related to a jumper on the PCB electronic board of the air conditioner. The jumper may have problems such as being loose, blown, burnt, or poorly connected, causing the device to display the C5 error code. But don't worry, because this problem has a solution, and today we're going to show you the causes and solutions related to this problem.

Here are the possible causes that can trigger a C5 error code on your Gree air conditioner. First, review these causes, and then we'll see the solutions for each of them:

• The jumper on the electronic board has come loose: The jumper on the PCB electronic board may have come loose due to air vibrations or bumps during installation or some previous maintenance.
• The jumper has blown or burnt: The jumper may have blown due to a voltage overload or may have simply burned due to a short circuit, so you'll likely need to replace it.
• The internal wiring of the air conditioner is damaged or not in good condition: The wiring may have come loose due to air vibrations, or it may have sulfate due to humidity.
• The PCB electronic board is damaged and needs to be replaced: As a last cause, as rare as it may seem, it could also happen that the components controlling this jumper on the electronic board have been damaged, burnt, or sulfated.

All of these are the causes that can trigger the C5 error code on the screen of Gree brand air conditioners. Now, without further delay, let's see the solutions to fix this problem.

Can the error code C5 be fixed in Gree air conditioners?

We have prepared for you a list of possible solutions that you can use to permanently fix the C5 error code on your Gree air conditioner. Take note of each of these tips and advice, and please do not skip any, as they are all important and can help you find a solution to this issue with your air conditioner:

1. Turn off and disconnect the air conditioner to rule out temporary errors: The first thing we're going to do is to reset the air conditioner and thus rule out possible temporary errors and reset the sensors. To do this, all you have to do is turn off the air conditioner completely and disconnect it from the power outlet for a few minutes (at least 15). Once the time has passed, reconnect it and turn it on to check if the C5 error code has disappeared. If the problem persists, please continue reading.
2. Check that the jumper is properly connected on the PCB electronic board of the air conditioner: Open the front panel cover of the air conditioner and look for the PCB electronic board. Locate the jumper, which is usually blue and medium-sized, and verify that it is correctly connected to the board. If you notice that the jumper is loose, tighten it carefully. Now, reassemble everything, turn on your air conditioner, and check if the C5 error code has disappeared.
3. Check if the jumper has blown or burnt on the PCB electronic board of the air conditioner: You will need to use a tool called a multimeter and your knowledge of electronics to perform this task. If the jumper is blown or burnt, if you notice that it has no continuity on the multimeter, then you need to replace it with a new one of the same type and compatible with the electronic board of your air conditioner.
4. Check the internal wiring of your Gree air conditioner and look for anomalies: It may happen that a cable has come loose due to the vibration of the air conditioner or due to previous maintenance. In that case, you will need to thoroughly check the internal wiring of your air conditioner and verify that it is in good condition and that everything is properly connected. It also often happens that connections become sulfated due to the humidity generated by the air conditioner itself, so you need to check all connections for sulfate and remove it with a specific product or electronic cleaner. Once you have made all the necessary checks and repairs, please proceed to reassemble the air conditioner and check if the C5 error code has disappeared.
5. If the problem persists, please review everything mentioned above and follow the steps carefully: It is important to carefully review each of the points mentioned above to rule out any possible cause that may have triggered this error code on your air conditioner. If you cannot identify the cause of the problem, then most likely the electronic board of your air conditioner is damaged and requires replacement. If you do not feel confident in making the repairs, it is best to call a professional Gree service technician to handle the situation.
6. Call Gree technical service and request a home visit for a more thorough inspection: If you have tried all the above solutions and the C5 error code persists, please contact Gree's official technical service. A qualified technician can accurately diagnose the problem and perform the necessary repairs, in addition to providing a very good warranty for all the work done.

As an important note: If you are going to buy a new PCB electronic board, you need to make sure it comes with the jumper. It often happens that this replacement does not come with this component, so you will probably have to use the jumper from the old electronic board that you had uninstalled.

To summarize and conclude, we have that the C5 error code on Gree air conditioners indicates a problem with the jumper on the PCB electronic board. The most common causes can be a loose, blown, burnt, or poorly connected jumper, a problem with the internal wiring of the air conditioner, or a failure in the PCB electronic board. You can fix the problem by following all the recommendations we have provided in this article.
