ELECTROLUX – KELVINATOR INVERTER SPLIT SYSTEM Fault codes, blinking codes and repair procedure - Part-1

Models: KSV 26CRE, KSV 35CRE, KSV 70CRE, KSV 26HRE, KSV 35HRE, KSV 53HRE, KSV 62HRE, KSV 70HRE, KSV 80HRE
Diagnostic Display Mode Description
Built into the software for model: KSV26HRE & KSV35HRE are two different diagnostic methods: (Fault Codes & Condition Codes) that can be used to help diagnose various faults.
These two diagnostic types are described here.
Note: Where there is a referral to (Remote Control Access – 3)
* This indicates the need to use the remote controller to view the relevant fault code.
This is achieved by pressing the “Light” button 3 times within three seconds.
Note: Where there is a referral to (Remote Control Access – 5)
* This indicates the need to use the remote controller to initiate a selected “Test State”.
This is achieved by pressing the “Light” button 5 times within three seconds.

* Check for DC voltage at the following points:
> Turn the power off at the isolation switch then disconnect the Signal Wire off the indoor terminal block.
> With the Signal Wire disconnected, turn the unit back on and leave it in “standby mode”.
> With a multimeter, test the DC output from the signal wire connecting to the indoor unit & earth.
> If the meter reads a low stable voltage, the indoor PCB should be okay.
> Then by using the same method, test the output signal on the terminal block from the outdoor PCB & earth.
> If the meter reads a pulsing voltage in the low 50's, the outdoor PCB should be okay.
> If the meter reads 0 DC volts, this would indicate the PCB in question is faulty.
Note: If both indoor & outdoor PCB’s appear okay, continue:
