E37
Outdoor Unit Heat Exchanger Sensor (ThOR) Defective / Poor Connection
Mitsubishi Electric · FR-D700 Inverter
What does E37 mean?
The outdoor unit heat exchanger sensor (ThOR) is defective (open circuit resistance) or has a poor connection on the outdoor unit PCB. This error may also specify which particular thermistor (Tho-R1 to Tho-R6) has failed, leading to inaccurate temperature readings.
Common Causes
- Outdoor unit heat exchanger temperature sensor (ThOR, e.g., P17) is defective.
- Poor electrical connection to the ThOR sensor.
- Sensor reading is out of range or unstable.
- Wiring harness to the sensor is damaged.
- Environmental factors affecting sensor accuracy.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Measure the resistance of the outdoor unit heat exchanger sensor (ThOR) and compare to the specified temperature-resistance chart.
- 2
Inspect the sensor connector on the outdoor unit PCB for secure and clean connection, ensuring no corrosion.
- 3
If a specific sub-code (E37-1 to E37-6) is indicated, identify and test the corresponding thermistor (Tho-R1 to Tho-R6) directly.
