Outdoor unit Error Code
Midea VRF system has self Diagnosis function, which main purpose is to
help the Service Engineer to find out fault fast and easily.
When the system in error status, the outdoor unit or indoor unit can
display the error code:
On the indoor PCB, the LED s would show the error code.
And on the outdoor unit, the LCD display will display the error code.
E1
23 23: when in standby mode,

it display the quantity of indoor units in the
system;
70: when outdoor unit is running,

70 For DC Inverter System,
It display the frequency of inverter
compressor(70Hz);
dF: when in defrost mode,

dF it display dF.
d0 d0: when in oil return program,

it display d0;
when system is in error or protection mode,

E it display Error code or protection code.
