Panasonic is considered a top manufacturer and distributor all around the world. Offering customers everything from air conditioners, entertainment systems, refrigerators, TVs and so much more for home and commercial use. Founded more than 105 years ago, Panasonic is a Japanese multinational corporation that started its operations by producing light bulb sockets. It’s easy to assume that the company has come a long way and made its place as one of the largest companies in the world.
Along with that, the company offers a wide range of top-of-the-line choices that are designed to fit your residential and commercial space. Offering you the ease of mind you need to focus on your work rather than worry about the basic workings of your home.
Regardless of how high a company is ranked, or how well the appliance is reviewed, you are at the risk of an error. An error is not here to tell you it’s time to switch out your appliance, it’s a direct signal from the device – one that tells the owner something is wrong with the system that needs to be fixed. So rather than ignoring the error codes, your appliance is showing its time to note down the Panasonic air conditioner error code and get to the bottom of the problem. To help you out we have listed down the most common error codes of Panasonic air conditioners

Troubleshooting
The following symptoms do not indicate malfunction;
| Symptom | Cause |
|---|---|
| Mist emerges from indoor unit. | Condensation effect due to cooling process |
| Water flowing sound during operation. | Refrigerant flow inside the unit. |
| The room has a peculiar odour | This may be due to damp smell emitted by the wall, carpet, furniture or clothing |
| Indoor fan stops occasionally during automatic fan speed setting | This helps to remove the surrounding odour |
| Airflow continues even after operation has stopped | Extraction of remaining heat from the indoor unit (maximum 30 seconds) |
| Operation is delayed a few minutes after restarting | The delay is a protection to the unit’s compressor |
| Outdoor unit emits water/steam | Condensation or evaporation occurs on pipes |
| POWER indicator blinks during HEAT mode with no warm air supply (and louver is closed) | The unit is in defrost mode (and AIR SWING is set to AUTO) |
| Indoor fan stops occasionally during heating operation | To avoid unintended cooling effect |
| POWER indicator blinks before the unit is switched on | This is a preliminary step in preparation for the operation when the ON timer has been set |
| Cracking sound during operation | Changes of temperature caused the expansion/contraction of the unit |
| POWER indicator blinks 3 seconds ON and 0.5 seconds OFF during operation | Cause: The unit is in Demand Response Mode. Check: the following before calling for servicing |
| Noisy during operation | Check: Check if the unit has been installed at an incline. Close the front panel properly. |
| Remote control does not work | Check: Insert the batteries correctly. Replace weak batteries. |
| The unit does not work | Check: Check if the circuit breaker is tripped. Check if timers have been set. |
| The unit does not receive the signal from the remote control. | Check: Make sure the receiver is not obstructed. Certain fluorescent lights may interfere with signal transmitter. Please consult authorised dealer. |
