*If you can't find the code you're looking for on our site, please let us know, and we'll update our database as soon as possible.
I’m receiving 2 error codes EL and OC, what do they mean. The unit runs for a period of time and shuts off. I power off and and power on then it runs for another period of time and shuts off.
Following. I’m getting the same codes and response from my unit…
This app helpful for me thank you and
Please send me how to purchase Toshiba VRV PCB please send link
I have a code AP that is not listed in the book. Please assist
Same here. Also, our AC will randomly decide to change its own settings. Don’t think I will be buying another Toshiba AC.
Any luck with what the AP code is? I’m having that displayed too…
Thank you sir
