Toshiba 1A fault code
Toshiba air conditioning
What the Toshiba 1A fault code means, from the manufacturer's own service literature, and the UK models it applies to.
What it means
Block 02 (outdoor PCB). Outdoor fan failure, or its drive circuit on the inverter PCB has failed.
Safety: Isolate before working near the fan — it can restart without warning.

Now the harder half: proving what caused it
1A 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.
