Kaisai P4 fault code
Kaisai air conditioning
What the Kaisai P4 fault code means, from the manufacturer's own service literature, and the UK models it applies to.
What it means
Safety: Safe isolation before disconnecting the compressor or testing the inverter board — capacitors hold charge.

Now the harder half: proving what caused it
P4 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.
