I'm getting an error message on my Actron Air Conditioner which when I look up the faul codes it says - communication error between indoor and outdoor. As per my instructions I've tried turning it off at the mains and then on again. Has anyone had any experience with this sort of error? I'm hoping it's something I can fix myself rather than waiting for a repairman as I expect they are rather busy at this time of year. Re: Actron Air Conditioner - no cool air coming out 5Jan 06, 2011 8:34 pm Steve, You will know if the compressor is running as you will be able to hear it at the outdoor unit. Not likely if it is not cooling however. Communication errors ultimately mean the indoor and outdoor are not "talking" as they should. Simple reason is the interconnect cabling has come loose at a connection as B STAR has mentioned. Common when the unit first gets installed - not so much in my experience if the unit has been operating for a while. Possibly it's the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) The electronics in these units can be quite complex and a simple error in any number of boards can create problems / errors, communication or not. I'd say a warranty call if it's still under warranty (5 years residential) in which case contact either your installation contractor or Actron Air to place this. You get what you pay for!
