Quick Answer
Error code H8 on your Daikin Mini-Splits & Ductless Systems means: Compressor Current Sensor Fault. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Likely Causes
  1. Current transformer (CT) sensor on the compressor feed has failed
  2. Wiring fault to the current sensor
  3. Outdoor PCB current sensing circuit malfunction
  4. Physical damage to the current sensor during service
How to Fix It
1
Locate the compressor current sensor (CT) on the outdoor PCB or compressor wiring
2
Check the sensor connector for proper seating on the outdoor PCB
3
Verify the CT is properly clamped around the compressor power lead
4
Measure compressor current independently with an external clamp meter to verify actual current draw
5
Replace the current sensor if it is not providing accurate readings. A licensed HVAC technician should perform this repair
