Rebadged Pioneer mini split
I have two Pioneer mini splits in my house, and so far have been very happy with them. But as we hit record temperatures one of them quit of course.
I did a diagnosis and the likely culprit is the main control board in the outdoor unit. I've e-mailed HighSeer and Parker Davis to try and get a replacement, but so far no reply. Does anyone know who really makes these units as they are sold as both Mr. Cool and Pioneer. If I can find out the real manufacturer and how many other makes it has been rebadged to I have a better chance of finding replacement parts. Alternatively does anyone have a full schematic of the control board so I can trace the fault at the component level. |

Model numbers and manufacturer info would be great to start off with...

Here's a link to your service manual:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...iuV_0FfCQr8l2Q And the illustrated parts breakdown: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...X_CsCVQl9Ny7r0 Both are pdf download links. What's up with the unit? Looks like it should be showing error codes if it's not just dead. Last edited by jeff5may; 07-16-20 at 03:48 AM.. Reason: Information |

I already have the service manual, and the error code is E1, communication error.
My original question is still, who actually makes these units, I don't believe it's Pioneer, they buy them from a manufacturer and rebadge them, just like Mr. Cool, whose units look identical, even to the point of the installation manual being the same identical. |

Welcome to the right to repair movement. The service manual looks to be better than average as to troubleshooting walkthrough and deciphering where to look. Good luck finding a board view or a schematic.
