Midea Aircon PC 00 Error Code
Capture the Midea PC 00 fault correctly, then see what should be checked before parts are quoted.
What does Midea PC 00 mean?
Midea PC 00 is listed as IPM malfunction or IGBT over-current protection in Inverter Split rows such as Midea wall-mounted inverter error-code quick troubleshooting table. This meaning comes from the manufacturer's own diagnostic material. Confirm the exact model, series, or signal row before accepting a parts quote.
Compressor start, lock, overcurrent, overload, or inverter-drive protection.
Power-module, IPM, voltage, or wiring fault affecting compressor drive.
Compressor mechanical or winding issue after electrical checks are confirmed.
What to do now
Use these steps before customer action or a parts quote.
Stop using the unit if PC 00 returns
Stop repeated restarts if PC 00 returns; compressor and inverter faults can become more expensive when forced to run.
No manufacturer reset steps listed for PC 00
Capture the complete PC 00 display and model stickers first. The manufacturer lists no customer reset procedure; do not treat a generic power-cycle as manufacturer guidance.

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 PC 00, take a clear display photo. | Confirm whether PC 00 is compressor start, overload, lock, or drive protection. |
| Capture the Midea indoor and outdoor model stickers so the correct family row is used. | Check supply voltage, inverter output, IPM status, compressor current, and winding readings. |
| The manufacturer lists no customer reset procedure for this code. Note whether one room, several rooms, or the whole system is affected. | Review trip history and compressor mechanical signs before quoting replacement. |

What changes the next step
These clues decide whether the first check is room-side, shared outdoor-side, refrigerant-side, listed-meaning, or model-family confirmation.
| What you see | What it points to |
|---|---|
| Only one indoor unit shows PC 00. | The affected room, indoor board path, wiring route, or local component should be checked first. |
| Several rooms or the outdoor unit show the same PC 00 fault. | Prioritise the shared outdoor side, power path, and source-listed system branch. |
| The outdoor unit hums, starts briefly, or trips soon after startup. | Power, inverter, IPM, compressor current, and winding checks decide the repair path. |
| 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 Inverter Split rows such as Midea wall-mounted inverter error-code quick troubleshooting table. | This meaning comes from the manufacturer's own diagnostic material. Match the code to your model's listing before parts are quoted. |

Compressor drive or replacement decision
Midea PC 00 can still be a repair if power, inverter, or module checks find the cause. Compressor replacement should be weighed against age, warranty, and the rest of the system condition.
Inverter or IPM faults are not the same as confirmed compressor mechanical failure.
Compressor winding and current readings should be measured before replacement is discussed.
Older systems need a repair-versus-replace check if compressor-side parts are expensive.
