436 / Inverter Flash 62 — Red LED 6 flashes / Green LED 2 flashes
OD Inverter High Heat-Sink Temperature
This code typically points to
- Inverter heat sink temperature exceeded limit
- Loose screws reducing thermal contact between heat sink and inverter control board
Next checks to confirm
- Verify high heat-sink temperature condition
- Check and tighten screws that hold the heat sink to the inverter control board
- Wait 5 minutes for all capacitors to discharge before checking screws
- Use outdoor-unit service documentation for further diagnosis
Escalation
Inverter first issues alert code 13 and slows down to cool the heat sink; if temperature remains high, outdoor unit stops compressor and fan as service-soon, anti-short-cycle starts, and if the condition occurs 5 times within 1 hour the system locks out as service urgent
Reset behavior
Service-soon condition automatically clears when the inverter sends an alert-code-clear message; service-urgent condition is cleared by disconnecting power to the outdoor unit and restarting.
