Fujitsu 15,000 BTU 25 SEER Halcyon Wall-Mount Mini Split with Energy Saving Mode 44 Error Fix: Compressor Start Failure

Error code 44 on the Fujitsu 15,000 BTU 25 SEER Halcyon Wall-Mount Mini Split with Energy Saving Mode means: Compressor Start Failure. The compressor failed to start after the control board commanded it to run — the compressor may have a seized bearing, a failed start winding, insufficient power supply voltage, or a wiring fault between the PCB and compressor; the inverter drive attempts to start the compressor and monitors for rotation feedback; if no rotation is detected within the timeout period, this error is generated; check compressor winding resistance (all three windings should be balanced)
