Error Code: EC 51 – Outdoor EEPROM Parameter Error


What this means:
The outdoor PCB’s main control chip is not receiving valid feedback from its onboard EEPROM — the chip that stores critical configuration and operating parameters. Without this data, the system cannot operate properly.


Try this first (quick reset):

  1. Turn off the power supply to the unit.

  2. Wait at least 2 minutes.

  3. Turn the unit back on and check the display.

  • If the error clears — the system is operating normally.

  • If the error remains — proceed to replacement.


Next steps (for technicians):

  • For EC 51 → Replace the outdoor main PCB.

  • (Note: EH 00/EH 0A use the same process, but for the indoor PCB.)


What you might need:

  • Outdoor main PCB (specific to your model)

  • Multimeter or scope for communication signal confirmation (optional)


Helpful tip:
The EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a built-in component on the PCB and cannot be replaced separately. The only fix is replacing the entire board.
