What is Daikin A5 Error Code
In the Singapore context, people don’t use Air conditioners to heat up the room. So we will only refer to the error code in terms of freeze up protection. Daikin A5 error simply means that the Air flowing to the coil is too cold. And the system has to shut down in order to protect the air conditioner. Imagine the air gets so cold and the temperature goes way below the regulated temperature. The compressor will overwork itself and eventually break down. Hence the purpose of this function is to prevent the compressor from overheating and breaking down.

OUR TESTIMONIALS
So, what causes Daikin A5 error code? If you pay attention to the previous paragraph. You will need to check on other fan coil units to see if there are other error codes that occur beside A5. If there is a UH error code appearing on another fan coil. It could be that the ev coil in the condenser unit has broken down. And that causes the valve to not be able to close, hence it will release too much gas into the system. And the system will then have to call for freeze up protection. To fix this, all you need to do is to replace the EV coil. Which is relatively less expensive than other parts.
However, if it is the valve that is malfunctioning, then it could be rather expensive to repair or replace the parts. The easiest solution is to change the whole Daikin condenser unit instead.
If there are no UH error codes appearing in other units. Especially if A5 error code only appears in just one fan coil unit. It could be that the fan coil unit is extremely dirty and it requires a clean up. The solution to this is to do aircon servicing. And more specifically Aircon chemical overhaul to solve this issue. However, it could also be that the indoor unit thermistor has malfunctioned. And to fix this you will have to replace the Daikin Aircon thermistor instead.
