Meaning depends on your model

Different Blue Star models use this code for different faults. The most commonly reported meanings are below. Check the model number on the sticker of your unit and your user manual to know which one applies.

Possible meaning 1Power supply voltage problem

You can usually fix it

The supply voltage is too low, too high or unstable, so the appliance stopped itself to avoid damage.

Common causes

  • Low or high mains voltage in your area
  • Stabilizer faulty, overloaded or of the wrong rating
  • Loose plug, socket or wiring
  • Short power cut or fluctuation

Try this at home first

Tick each step as you go

When to call a technician

If the socket voltage is normal and the code repeats, have the wiring and board checked by an electrician or technician.

Possible meaning 2Inverter board / power module protection

Needs a technician

The inverter drive (power module, DC voltage or heat sink) detected a fault and stopped the compressor.

Common causes

  • Voltage spike or unstable supply
  • Outdoor board overheating (poor air flow, very hot day)
  • Failed power module or board parts
  • Compressor wiring problem

Try this at home first

Tick each step as you go

When to call a technician

This needs a trained inverter technician. Users must never open boards or modules.
