Hi I'm a test engineer for hq for Daikin Europe in Belgium. I've been following your videos already for a while. Good to see issue in real life situations and not only in perfect test room conditions. We will have in mind all your problems you faced, to avoid in the future.

Neons on the lil filter board, handy for checking you have all three phases - but can you even see them while the unit is powered? lol

I had exactly the same problem at a leisure centre in Southam. All 3 condenser pcbs gone in very new units not long ago installed. Daikon supplied and fitted all 3 unfer warranty, no auestions asked.

Brilliant videos mate, love this game

Have probably had three of four R32 ‘Advanced’ OU showing this u4 fault after just a few months, narrowed it down to OU PCB and replaced under warranty but didn’t know it was a known issue. Bit frustrating especially the ones that aren’t local but replacements sent quickly. Import duty charged on the latest warranty PCB but again Daikin sorted that quickly. miss matched units there must be a legit high sensible combination.

Think there was a bulletin floating around somewhere about it showing the specific model/serial numbers mate. This one was a two hour drive away 😅

I've had the same thing happen to me, eight split units (R32). All of them went into u4 fault after about eighteen months of being installed. I'm gradually working my way through the pcb's and replacing the suspect capacitors.

@@hvacuk8975 No...apparently the company that installed the units are no longer going. We're still in talks with Daikin where we stand with the problem, but from what I understand it could cause them a bit of a problem as Daikin have sold thousands of these systems. I think they've got a few dedicated field engineers that purely travel around just replacing those capacitors. I ordered about a dozen of those capacitors (kept a few as spare)and just soldered the last one in. Some units did not show a u4 fault but i was not getting any reading's back from the OU thermistors on the wall mounted controller .....which apparently Daikin said is another sign that the capacitor is faulty. Great channel by the way 😊👍

I also have the same problem here with the suspended type split unit R32. From all 12 units RZF125CVM4 installed, 11 have U4 fault some after one year, and the rest after 2 years. Looking to the one of the outdoor PCB, the blue capacitors 0.47 uF have lower values. I think Daikin need to recall the PCB units from customer to replace those capacitors.

What are your thoughts on Mitsubishi Heavy Industries wall mounted units?

I find it alot easier to change the board itself rather than the metal back plate aswell. 10 minute job. Have done 10-15 so far. Little heads up aswell, panasonic have a similar issue on their R32 100 units inverter boards, throws a PH29 . 👍
