Gree error code H5

What it means

IPM (intelligent power module) protection.

Possible causes

IPM detecting overcurrent or overtemperature DC bus voltage instability Compressor electrical fault being limited by IPM

Suggested fix

Evaluate power supply and DC bus values, check compressor windings and ensure adequate cooling of the IPM; replace the IPM or outdoor inverter board when testing confirms module failure and verify the compressor is not the root cause.

Safety first. Isolate the power supply before inspecting any unit. Refrigerant-circuit and electrical repairs must be carried out by a qualified, registered technician.
