Any one here ever facing daikin inverter aircond problem with error code "L5" and fixed? Can recommend a reliable aircond technician to me.

Everytime I switch on my daikin inverter aircond, the outdoor compressor will run for few minutes then stop.
I did ask few ppl to service and check my aircond but still same. They said they only know how to install n service. They did said my aircond still got gas.

I got this before. Daikin inverter. L5. Same symptoms. No cold air. After call technician say it's the board. Needs to replace. Ask how much almost same price as one bijik 1hp ac. I said fuck it. I'll buy a new one.

L5 error means output overcurrent on your outdoor unit

Probably the inverter circuitry having some issue, or at other end check if the wiring to compressor have any damage/abnormalities.

Seems to be capacitor blow. YouTube has videos. Can ask electrician to help.

Can refer to this.

Most common cause is usually inverter capacitor kaput already, need to replace the capacitor.

should be the pcb board damaged...

same as mine... to change a new pcb - RM 800+-

They say this co they lazy to identify which part of the board kaput and edu job and more profitable to just change whole board. 90% of the time it’s just the capacitor that kaput.

Inverter instantaneous overcurrent (DC output) could be cause by defective compressor coil.
Or circuit board capacitor if your compressor is within 3 years.

Yeah I didn't wanna fix it because what time my boy was a newborn. Couldn't afford time to repair and find a the cap replacement.

Straight away throw the damn thing bought a new one. Problem free since then lol

Same, 2 ppl i call to check asking me buy new aircond from them.

Up to you bro. I could afford a new ac. So I didn't care to toss it

Yep same quoted price. Lol

Hmm, i think maybe i should get a new one...lol

Same

I think later I'll get non-inverter type aircond... aircond service guy said can last longer...n don't want use daikin anymore laa...3 years already byebye ...

U have the same issue and same justification to change new one as me

Non inverter your bills will go crazy yo

If you willing perhaps can try to diy can refer to this vid

If you on your ac whole night like me, it's worth it for cheaper letrik bill. So inverter is worth it. My living room ac is non inverter 2 hp I on it for three nights straight as I was sick and didn't wanna spread to my son. my ac bill from 300 myr jump to 500 myr

I learn my lesson now. I instelled one ac in the guest room. If master bedroom ac rosak I bring my son there to sleep

I scare later explode....lol

got same issue. Technician say improper wiring.

Mine is living room.
2.5 hp kaput. Board is 1.3k
I check online is some hard reset or change in some fuse/capacitor.
But the technician just bluntly say board spoil .
Sometimes I just give up Malaysian want quick buck business
Change to 2hp burn 3k
I cannot go without aircon in living room the kid cannot sleep long

dump daikin...
used haven reach 4 years...kong..knn betul

how big is your living hall?
u shld split into two unit..
i have both 1.5 hp...at the diing and another at tv there...

PCB board. That's the price of owning inverter AC when goes wrong

High powered invertor aircons are pretty exp nowadays

My biggest regret with my living room 2hp ac was getting one unit that's powerful so now my living room is constantly cold and dry plus it's noisy no matter how much temp I increase. It's so bad I keep my window open. I'm waiting for it to rosak to install two units at 1.5 hp each.

I fuckken hate that 2hp buts it's going strong 😅

yeah..alot ppl advise it's better to split it.
one spoiled at least one can be backup..lol

My aircond guy repair it for RM400 using a 2nd hand board

Good thing ts open tered in /k...
Here got a lot of aircond specialist...

Hi I stumbled into this thread looking for this error code from my AC as well

I wonder which model are you guys using?
Mine is the "Infinity" Series, R410a
Mine was installed Dec 2017, so almost 6 years ish
Now is also getting the L5 error

And if I do end up going with replacing it entirely, what brand do yall recommend since I don't want to go daikin anymore

EDIT: Here's the thing, it sometimes works and it sometimes doesn't
I noticed it prefers working while the weather is cold (rainy/ night)
Where as in the afternoon it does not want to work


I have had a technican come and take a look
they checked, said gas is ok
did some cleaning, which did help it keep running fine for like a week or 2
and then now the problem is back again

My daikin aircond exactly same pattern like yours one, only working on cold day. I called few technician come to check, and they said need change the entire board, cost rm700++. Then I decided to get new Panasonic aircond.

L5. Inverter Instantaneous Overcurrent (AC)

Sorry, don't know what that means.

Hi, does anyone have a recommended electrician/aircon repair specialist that can do the diagnosis and repairs in KL/PJ?

Thanks!

My aircond Panasonic, I called them and ask them for their recognized technician come. They actually charge very reasonable rate, around RM100 for normal service.

Ok, let me try to contact Daikin then. Thank you.

Where your location? If in KL/PJ/Shah Ale or kawasan sewaktu dengannya, come I go change the cap for you like in the YT video. I have some free time now. I'll charge you small money only for changing the capacitor
