Midea error code F3

What it means

Outdoor ambient temperature sensor fault.

Possible causes

Outdoor sensor physically damaged Broken or chafed sensor leads Connector corrosion at outdoor PCB

Suggested fix

Examine the sensor and wiring for weather or mechanical damage and compare sensor readings to actual ambient; renew the sensor or repair wiring if discrepancies are found.

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