Error Code: PC 30 – System High Pressure Protection
What this means:
The system has shut down because the outdoor pressure switch detected a high pressure above 4.4 MPa. This protection prevents compressor damage due to overheating or blockage in the refrigerant loopTS34.
Try this first (quick reset):
Power off the system.
Wait 2 minutes.
Turn it back on and check if the error clears.
If the error clears — pressure has stabilized.
If not — begin troubleshooting the high pressure side.
Next steps (for technicians):
Check wiring between high pressure switch and main PCB:
If not connected correctly → reconnect the wires securely.
Measure resistance of the high pressure protector:
Disconnect the plug.
If resistance ≠ 0 → replace the high pressure protector.
If resistance = 0 → continue.
Check outdoor ambient temperature:
If temperature is over 50°C → allow the unit to cool down.
Check ventilation around outdoor unit:
Ensure air inlets/outlets are not blocked.
Inspect heat exchanger:
If dirty → clean the outdoor coil.
Check outdoor fan operation:
If not spinning properly → repair or replace the outdoor fan.
Verify refrigerant system functionality:
If pressure remains abnormal despite fixes → replace the outdoor main PCB.
What you might need:
High pressure protector
Connection wires
Outdoor fan
Outdoor main PCB
Cleaning tools
Helpful tip:
Most PC 30 errors are caused by airflow restriction or dirty coils, not component failure. Always clean and test before replacing expensive parts.
