Kaisai EC fault code
Kaisai air conditioning
What the Kaisai EC fault code means, from the manufacturer's own service literature, and the UK models it applies to.
What it means
The unit's leak-detection logic has inferred a loss of charge. Confirm a real leak against a false reading before condemning anything.
Safety: R32 is A2L mildly flammable — leak-check with suitable equipment and ventilate.

Now the harder half: proving what caused it
EC names a symptom, not a root cause. In the app, the same code opens a guided investigation: what to measure first, the expected values for your exact model, and an honest verdict — including “nothing in this machine is broken” when that's what the readings say.
