after 4 consecutive or 10 total
compressor (pressure) trip events
1. Condenser fan is not running
Check fan capacitor
Check fan wiring and connectors
Check fan motor for failure or blockage
2. High head pressure
Check high pressure switch if present in system
Check if system is overcharged with refrigerant
Check for non-condensable in system
3. Condenser coil poor air circulation (dirty, blocked, damaged)
4. Return air duct has substantial leakage
Red “LOCKOUT”
Flash Code 3
Yellow Off
