What the code means

indoor/outdoor unit combination fault

Stop if there is smoke, a burning smell, damaged wiring, repeated breaker operation, or refrigerant leakage. Do not open fixed electrical or refrigerant panels. Record the code, switch the air conditioner off, and contact the Daikin service shop; the manual says not to repair, dismantle, reinstall, or modify the unit yourself.

Typical symptoms

01UA is shown on the Daikin air conditioner display, indicator, or connected app
02The published condition is: indoor/outdoor unit combination fault
03The appliance has reached the manufacturer-defined stop or service condition associated with UA
04The important observation is when UA appears and whether the exact published action changes that condition

Fault area and what the code does not prove

Separate the manufacturer-defined condition from components that still need exact-model diagnosis.

01Manufacturer-defined fault area — indoor/outdoor unit combination fault
02UA defines a service boundary; the failed internal part still requires exact-model diagnosis
03Model boundary — apply this interpretation only to Daikin room air-conditioner models FTX25KMV1B and FTX35KMV1B

Safe next steps

  1. 1
    Confirm the exact Daikin Air conditioner UA model and displayed code before taking action.
  2. 2
    Keep the appliance in a safe state and use only the external checks named in the official source.
  3. 3
    If the condition remains, stop and arrange qualified service; do not open panels or bypass a safety device.

Step-by-step diagnosis

  1. 1
    Photograph the complete UA display before changing controls or removing power
  2. 2
    Confirm that the full model number is covered by this scope: Daikin room air-conditioner models FTX25KMV1B and FTX35KMV1B
  3. 3
    Confirm that the observed condition matches the published meaning: indoor/outdoor unit combination fault
  4. 4
    Published check — Do not open fixed electrical or refrigerant panels
  5. 5
    Published check — Record the code, switch the air conditioner off, and contact the Daikin service shop
  6. 6
    Published check — the manual says not to repair, dismantle, reinstall, or modify the unit yourself
  7. 7
    Stop at the published service boundary after these actions
  8. 8
    do not add a restart or test cycle that Daikin does not specify for UA
  9. 9
    Published check — Give service the UA photo, full model and serial number, when it appeared, and the result of every published external check
  10. 10
    Stop at the published service boundary after these actions; do not add a restart or test cycle that Daikin does not specify for UA

  2. 2
    Record the code, switch the air conditioner off, and contact the Daikin service shop
  3. 3

Repair planning

Cost for the first check
UA cost planning: The source-listed safety check is usually €0. €140–€320 is a typical Europe planning range for diagnosis before parts; it is not Daikin pricing. Ask for separate diagnosis, parts, labor, and call-out lines on the quote.
Time for the first check
UA time plan: 5–10 minutes to document and isolate safely; 30–90 minutes is a typical diagnostic visit before any model-specific repair.
🔧Tools
Phone camera for the complete UA display, Full model and serial number, Power or water isolation access as described by the official procedure
Parts or consumables
UA parts decision: No component should be ordered from UA alone. The documented fault area is “indoor/outdoor unit combination fault”; the technician must identify the failed model-specific part and revision.

What not to do

  • Do not open fixed panels, test live circuits, bypass protection, or keep operating the appliance after an urgent stop instruction
  • Do not run an extra test cycle after the source tells you to stop or arrange service for UA

Preventive maintenance

  • 1
    Follow the exact Daikin maintenance schedule for the air conditioner and keep the model, serial number, and service history available
  • 2
    If UA begins recurring despite the documented maintenance, stop repeating the same action and request exact-model diagnosis
