Panasonic R410A air conditioner error codes

Panasonic R410A is a range of air conditioners using the R410A refrigerant. It is an older type of refrigerant. Although it has a zero ozone depletion capacity, it cannot be considered ecology-friendly due to its high global warming potential (2088). It therefore can’t compete with R-290 or R-600A refrigerants, whose global warming potential is only 3.

Panasonic U-26PE1U6 air conditioner error codes

Panasonic U-26PE1U6 range of air conditioners is comprised of several types of indoor and outdoor units. Each type has its own code (K2, U2, T2 etc.). In spite of all the differences models from the U-26PE1U6 lineup have, they use the same system of error codes. If something goes wrong with an air conditioner, check the code the appliance is displaying to fix it without someone’s help.
