What does Daikin C6 mean?
Daikin C6 is listed as malfunction of fan motor sensor or fan control driver, indoor PCB and fan PCB combination, capacity-setting, or indoor PCB abnormality, and indoor fan-motor sensor or driver malfunction in fault lists for more than one model family, including VRV X RXQ-A(N)R cooling only and Sky Air FNA R32 - indoor error overview. This meaning comes from the manufacturer's own diagnostic material. Do not collapse this code across model families; use the model, series, or system type to choose the right row. Confirm the exact model, series, or signal row before accepting a parts quote.
What to do now
Use these steps to record evidence and match the installed model to its service manual before diagnosis or a repair quote.
Record C6 and match the service manual
Record C6 and stop there; the manufacturer gives no customer reset procedure. Arrange diagnosis with the matching service manual.
No manufacturer reset steps listed for C6
Capture the complete C6 error code and model stickers first. The manufacturer lists the meaning but no customer reset procedure; do not treat a generic power-cycle as manufacturer guidance.
