One of the error codes that can occur with a Daikin air conditioner is code U4. This code indicates that the air conditioner is not receiving the proper amount of power. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. If the problem is not corrected, the air conditioner will not be able to operate properly and may eventually stop working entirely.

2. Clean or replace the air filter

4. Inspect the outdoor unit for debris or obstructions

  1. Look for any debris or obstructions in the outdoor unit. This could include leaves, twigs, rocks, or any other items that may have fallen onto the unit. If there are any obstructions, remove them using a vacuum cleaner or a broom.
  2. Check for any leaks. If there are any leaks, fix them by replacing the seals or the hose.
  3. Check for any damages. If there are any damages, fix them by replacing the parts that need to be replaced.
