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.

Can refer to this.

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

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.

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

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 😅

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

L5. Inverter Instantaneous Overcurrent (AC)

Sorry, don't know what that means.

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
