Abstract

A refrigeration cycle apparatus in which a compressor, a heat-source-side heat exchanger, a decompressor, and a use-side heat exchanger are connected by pipes to allow refrigerant to be circuited as a refrigeration cycle. The refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a controller which controls an operation of each of devices. The controller sets an operation mode to a specific operation mode for determining where abnormality occurs based on states of the compressor, the heat-source-side heat exchanger, the decompressor and the use-side heat exchanger in the case where an operating state of one of a plurality of element devices to be controlled by the controller is changed from a first state to a second state, the element devices being included in the compressor, the heat-source-side heat exchanger, the decompressor and the use-side heat exchanger.
