The F5 error code refers to an overcurrent or compressor protection issue. This error occurs when the compressor motor is drawing too much current, which could lead to system failure.
The compressor may be drawing too much current due to a malfunction.
Short circuits or wiring problems can trigger the overcurrent protection.
Obstructions in the refrigerant lines can cause excessive pressure, leading to an overcurrent condition.
Turn off the unit for 5–10 minutes, then turn it back on to reset the overcurrent protection.
Inspect the refrigerant lines for blockages.
Check the compressor motor for malfunction or wear.
