Panasonic air conditioner error codes
The self-diagnostics system of the air conditioners by Panasonic displays error codes on the display of the infrared remote
control and on the wall-mounted remote control. The list of error codes, their interpretation, and the troubleshooting
methods for each error code are specified.
