Fujitsu 36,000 BTU 18 SEER Multi-Zone Heat Pump Outdoor Unit 41 Error Fix: Outdoor Fan Motor Error

Error code 41 on the Fujitsu 36,000 BTU 18 SEER Multi-Zone Heat Pump Outdoor Unit means: Outdoor Fan Motor Error. The outdoor fan motor has failed — the motor may have an open/short circuit in its winding, a locked rotor (seized bearings), or a failed motor driver on the outdoor PCB; check the motor connector, measure winding resistance, and verify the motor spins freely by hand; a DC brushless fan motor requires the correct replacement part; without the outdoor fan, the condenser cannot reject heat and the system will shut down on high pressure
