Error Code: P0 - IPM Module Fault (Intelligent Power Module)

The IPM module is the inverter module which control the speed of the compressor and the outdoor fan, this is what makes the unit energy efficient. 

  • Check the connections between the compressor and IPM module are clean and tight.
  • Check the IPM module is firmly screwed down to the PCB case.
  • An engineer will be needed to check the refrigerant level, low gas can cause the compressor to get hot and send wrong signals back to the compressor.
  • If the connections are clean and tight and the refrigerant is at the right level then the IPM module needs replacing. 

notes: 

  • The 9K and 12K systems don't use a separate IPM module as it's built onto the main PCB
  • The 18K and 24K systems use a separate IPM module which is mounted next to the main PCB

If you want any any spare parts or an engineer to check/fix your unit, contact us via email at info@airconditioningcentre.com or call us at 0370 3344 556

ANY WIRING OR CLEANING OF CONNECTIONS REQUIRE THE POWER TO BE ISOLATED BEFORE WORKS COMMENCE.
