What E567 means on a Samsung air conditioner
Error code E567 on a Samsung air conditioner indicates that the inverter DC link voltage has fallen to 150 volts or below, or risen to 410 volts or above. The DC link is a critical intermediate stage in the inverter circuit, where rectified AC power is stored and regulated before being converted into variable-frequency AC power to drive the compressor motor. The inverter board continuously monitors this DC bus voltage, and when it falls outside the acceptable operating window, E567 is triggered to protect the compressor and power electronics from damage.
Low DC link voltage (150V or less) is typically caused by insufficient incoming AC supply voltage, a failing rectifier section on the inverter board, or degraded filter capacitors that can no longer hold a stable charge. High DC link voltage (410V or more) is often associated with power supply surges, overvoltage from the utility grid, or a malfunctioning power factor correction circuit that allows the DC bus to climb beyond safe limits. In both cases, the inverter shuts down compressor operation to prevent catastrophic component failure.
Diagnosing E567 requires measuring the incoming AC line voltage at the unit to rule out utility supply problems first. If line voltage is within normal range, the inverter board itself, including its rectifier diodes, filter capacitors, and PFC components, should be inspected and tested. A failed or weak capacitor bank is a particularly common cause of low DC link voltage readings, especially in older units.

Common causes of E567
- 01
Low incoming AC supply voltage
Wiring / connectionIf the utility voltage feeding the air conditioner is abnormally low, the inverter DC link cannot charge to a sufficient level. Check the supply voltage at the disconnect or breaker with a multimeter to confirm it is within the rated input range.
- 02
Degraded or failed DC link filter capacitors
Part replacementElectrolytic capacitors on the inverter board can lose capacitance over time, causing the DC bus voltage to sag under load and trigger the low-voltage threshold. Visually inspect capacitors for bulging or leakage, and test capacitance with an appropriate meter.
- 03
Faulty inverter board rectifier circuit
Part replacementThe rectifier diodes or bridge rectifier on the inverter PCB convert incoming AC to DC. If one or more diodes have failed or are conducting poorly, DC link voltage will be insufficient. Testing each diode in the bridge for proper forward voltage drop can identify a failure.
- 04
Utility power surge or overvoltage event
Wiring / connectionA voltage spike from the utility grid can push the DC link voltage above 410V, triggering the high-voltage threshold. If the error appeared after a storm or grid event and clears on restart, a surge protector or line conditioner should be considered.
- 05
Malfunctioning power factor correction circuit
Part replacementThe PFC circuit on the inverter board regulates the DC bus voltage actively. A failed PFC controller, boost inductor, or switching transistor can cause uncontrolled DC bus voltage rise above the 410V limit. This fault generally requires inverter board replacement.
