If the wiring between the indoor and outdoor units is loose or damaged, it can cause a communication breakdown.
A malfunction in the control board can disrupt communication.
Voltage fluctuations or a power surge can impact the communication between units.
Turn off the air conditioner, wait 5–10 minutes, and then turn it back on.
Check the wiring between the indoor and outdoor units for any loose or damaged connections.
If the issue persists, the PCB may need to be inspected and replaced by a technician.
