Daikin ERROR CODE E5

Daikin E5 Error Code Troubleshooting

An E5 error code could signal that the compressor has tripped on overload, or that the inverter driving it has detected something abnormal. The compressor is effectively the heart of your air conditioner, so this fault is treated as a serious protective shutdown.

It can be caused by the compressor itself overheating or drawing too much current, a fault on the inverter board, or a wiring issue at the compressor’s electrical connections.

Common Reasons You May See An E5 Error Code

  • The compressor tripping on overload
  • A defective inverter circuit board
  • Incorrect or loose compressor wiring connections
  • Compressor overheating linked to a refrigerant issue
