Abstract:
An air-conditioning apparatus includes a four-way valve, a first three-way valve and a second three-way valve each having a closed port, a compressor, an indoor heat exchanger, an expansion valve, a first outdoor heat exchanger, a second outdoor heat exchanger, a bypass expansion valve, a check valve, a discharge temperature sensor, an indoor pipe temperature sensor, an indoor temperature sensor, a current sensor, and a controller configured to detect switching failure at the four-way valve, the first three-way valve, and the second three-way valve. The controller is configured to detect switching failure at the four-way valve, the first three-way valve, or the second three-way valve by using the temperatures measured by the discharge temperature sensor, the indoor pipe temperature sensor, and the indoor temperature sensor and the current in consideration of an operation status.
