Did a google seach for Daikin e3 fault.

E3 Outdoor Activation of high pressure switch.

I wouldn't know how to fix but assume a limit switch or pressure switch of some sort is in need of resetting on the unit outside. Just a guess.

Also found a PDF doc with all the codes and info HERE (http://www.daikin.co.uk/binaries/DCS302C51_tcm46-6193.pdf).

What has happened to the days when you just plugged things in and they worked?

Now we have codes as to why it dont go.....Just work you piece of crap.....:((

Al :(

Sometimes codes can help. At work if something breaks down, the first thing we do is switch off the main isolator switch for a minute or 2 and then switch it back on. Faults usually clear after that.

If not, it's gunna be a fun filled time fault finding.

While you're going to the effort of opening up the outdoor unit and hitting the reset clean the outdoor coils with a hose, brush etc and check that there is plenty of airflow around it.

We charge like wounded bulls because we need to.
