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.

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.....

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.
