Refrigerant Overcharge
Quick Answer
Error code F6 on your Daikin Mini-Splits & Ductless Systems means: Refrigerant Overcharge. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Likely Causes
  1. Excess refrigerant added during service or installation
  2. Incorrect line set length calculation leading to overcharge
  3. Non-condensable gases combined with correct charge creating overpressure
How to Fix It
1
Connect gauges and compare operating pressures to the expected range for current conditions
2
Measure subcooling at the condenser outlet (excessively high subcooling indicates overcharge)
3
Verify the line set length and compare to the factory charge documentation
4
A licensed HVAC technician must recover excess refrigerant into a DOT-approved recovery cylinder
5
Recheck charge after adjustment using superheat/subcooling method per Daikin specifications
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
