Daikin Air Conditioner Error Codes

Singapore is a vibrant city-state in Southeast Asia known for its tropical climate, with consistently high temperatures and humidity. This climate makes air conditioning an essential part of daily life, especially in residential and commercial buildings. Daikin is the most popular air conditioner brand among Singaporeans due to its energy-efficient, compact design, and durability. Here are the most popular Daikin aircon in the Singaporean market:

• Daikin iSmile Series is one of the best-selling aircon units in Singapore. It has the “Power Chill" mode that can cool the room instantly, a favorite feature for Singaporeans seeking fast relief from the tropical heat.
• Daikin Multi-Split System is another highly popular aircon choice in Singapore. It is ideal for Singaporean apartments where homeowners want colling in multiple rooms without installing multiple outdoor units.
• Daikin SkyAir Series (R32 Inverter) is the best-selling unit of Daikin among commercial spaces in Singapore.

Daikin air conditioner manufacturers often include error codes in their manuals for user reference. If you no longer have the manual for your unit, check our list below for the list of Daikin error codes by indoor or outdoor unit.
