Common causes
If a mini-split display or indicator lights do not turn on, there may be several causes. Possibilities include an interruption in electrical power, a problem with the system controls, a fault in the electronic control board, an indicator setting that has been disabled on that model or a failure in the indoor unit's display panel. Some systems also allow the display or indicator lights to be turned off using the remote control.
When to request service
First confirm that the mini-split has electrical power and check whether the remote control allows the display or indicator lights to be turned on or off. If the indoor unit also does not respond, does not operate normally or the display remains off without an obvious cause, request a professional evaluation. Do not open the unit or handle electrical components.
How much can this repair cost?
