Fujitsu Mini-Split Code 82
Soft lockoutShown as: OPERATION lamp blinks 8 times, TIMER lamp blinks 2 times, ECONOMY lamp blinking continuously
Sub-cool heat exchanger gas inlet or gas outlet thermistor error. One of the sub-cooling heat exchanger gas sensors is shorted or open.
Manual wording: “Sub-Cool Heat Ex. Gas Inlet Thermistor Error / Sub Cool Heat Ex. Gas Outlet Thermistor Error - Sub cooling heat exchanger gas inlet temperature thermistor short or open detected.”
Documented for: RLF/RLF1 multi-zone systems on larger RLXFZ outdoor units
Likely causes, most common first
- Erroneous connection or removed connector
- Thermistor resistance out of specification
- Failed outdoor main PCB
What you can safely check yourself
- Turn the power off at the outdoor disconnect and breaker for about 5 minutes, then restore power
When to call a technician
Sub-cool circuit sensors are deep inside the outdoor unit. A technician must diagnose this.
A Fujitsu mini-split throwing this code repeatedly has a reason — clearing the code without fixing the cause just hides it.
