Both E227 and E228 relate to communication issues. E227 specifically indicates a *lack of response* from the outdoor unit. E228, on the other hand, indicates a *shorted* communication wire between the indoor and outdoor units. The troubleshooting steps differ slightly based on which error code is present.
