VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONDoor Position Voltage (V) Error Detecting Max. cooling 0.5 ± 0.15 Low voltage: 0.1V or less High voltage: 4.9V or more Max. heating 4.5 ± 0.15 - If the measured voltage is not within specification, check the operation by replacing the existing temperature control actuator with a new genuine part. After that, determine whether replacement of the temperature control actuator is required or not.
