Daikin ERROR CODE L5

Daikin L5 Error Code Troubleshooting

The L5 error code can appear when the inverter trips because the output current sent to the compressor has exceeded its safe limit. The inverter’s job is to vary the compressor’s speed efficiently, so a tripped output current usually points to a problem with either component.

This fault protects the compressor and inverter from damage, so it shouldn’t be treated as something to simply reset past.

Common Reasons You May See An L5 Error Code

  • A compressor winding fault
  • Inverter circuit board failure
  • Defective compressor coils
  • Excessive current draw within the system
