The system has detected a high compression ratio that cannot be adjusted by Automatic Envelope Management (AEM). The next startup will operate at a 25% reduced capacity. Each hour of operation without faults will gradually restore capacity. Repeated occurrences can lead to a lockout.
Click steps to track your progress.
Allow the system to operate; it will attempt to recover by reducing capacity.
Inspect the outdoor unit coils for blockages (e.g., dirt, debris) and clean if necessary.
Ensure there is adequate airflow across the heat exchanger.
If the problem persists or recurs, contact a qualified technician.
