Midea R32 M thermal Arctic Mono fault E6

Outdoor ambient temperature sensor error

Heat pump

What it means

Outdoor ambient temperature sensor error (serial number 7). Sensor T4.

Likely causes

  1. Sensor T4 disconnected, sensor malfunction, wiring break, PCB connection issue
  2. Faulty sensor T4
  3. Sensor wiring fault

Where to start

  1. Check sensor T4 connection, measure sensor resistance, verify wiring continuity, test sensor response
  2. Identify sensor type based on fault code
  3. Identify outdoor unit model variant (MHC-V4(6,8,10)W/D2N8-B, MHC-V12(14,16)W/D2N8-B, or MHC-V12(14,16)W/D2RN8-B)
