Hence, your aircon unit will prompt the timer light to blink when indoor/outdoor unit fails to communicate for more than 30 seconds.
Panasonic Aircon Error Code H14
If you see H14 Daikin aircon error code, it means that the indoor intake air temperature sensor is abnormal, most likely due to faulty connector connection sensor or PCB. This abnormality can be resulted from faulty aircon thermistor, or malfunctioned clip connecting the thermistor and and indoor PCB.
