Gree aircon UP error code
Use this Gree UP error code guide to capture the fault correctly and see what should be checked before parts are quoted.
What does Gree UP mean?
Gree UP is listed as charging capacitor malfunction in Multi-Split, Wall-Mounted Split, Ceiling Cassette rows such as Multi GEN2 wall mount, Multi GEN2 cassette. The loaded row is source-backed by official diagnostic material. Confirm the exact model, series, or signal row before accepting a parts quote.
Voltage, current, fuse, module, or power-supply protection has been triggered.
Loose connector, damaged harness, or outdoor electrical component fault.
PCB or inverter-module issue after power and load checks are confirmed.
What to do now
Use these steps before customer action or a parts quote.
Stop using the unit if UP returns
Stop repeated restarts if UP returns, trips power, smells burnt, or the outdoor unit runs unusually hot.
No manufacturer reset steps listed for UP
Capture the complete UP display and model stickers first. The selected source row lists no customer reset procedure; do not treat a generic power-cycle as manufacturer guidance.

Source-specific guidance
These diagnostic-reference notes help match the code to the exact model. Electrical, refrigerant, wiring, resistance, and component checks are technician work, not DIY steps.
| Source detail | What it says |
|---|---|
| Diagnostic note | Discharge safely, then check the charging capacitor circuit and outdoor drive board. |
| Singapore / model note | Official GREE Multi GEN2 service-manual row from the malfunction status sheet. Use for matching multi-zone outdoor and connected indoor style before treating it as final. |
What to check before repair
Use this split to separate safe evidence capture from the tests a technician should prove before quoting parts.
| You can check | Technician should confirm |
|---|---|
| Before taking any system action on UP, take a clear display photo. | Confirm whether UP is voltage, current, module, fuse, or protection related. |
| Capture the Gree indoor and outdoor model stickers so the correct family row is used. | Check incoming voltage, connectors, inverter module, and current draw under load. |
| The selected source row lists no customer reset procedure. Note whether one room, several rooms, or the whole system is affected. | Confirm downstream loads before replacing electrical boards or modules. |
What changes the next step
These clues decide whether the first check is room-side, shared outdoor-side, refrigerant-side, source-table, or model-family confirmation.
| What you see | What it points to |
|---|---|
| Only one indoor unit shows UP. | The affected room, indoor board path, wiring route, or local component should be checked first. |
| Several rooms or the outdoor unit show the same UP fault. | Prioritise the shared outdoor side, power path, and source-listed system branch. |
| The fault remains displayed or returns during operation. | Start with the source-row diagnostic branch before approving parts. |
| The model family is different from the row you found online. | Use the model or series filter first; same-looking codes can still belong to different diagnostic tables. |
| The model belongs to Multi-Split, Wall-Mounted Split, Ceiling Cassette rows such as Multi GEN2 wall mount, Multi GEN2 cassette. | The loaded row is source-backed by official diagnostic material. Use the matching source row before quoting parts. |
Electrical module or wiring decision
Gree UP needs voltage, current, module, and load checks before parts are quoted. The repair path depends on whether the fault is supply-side, wiring-side, or board-side.
Supply voltage and load checks separate building-side issues from unit-side faults.
Module or inverter faults need measured current and voltage evidence.
Repeated electrical trips should not be cleared repeatedly without diagnosis.
