F1 — High pressure sensor (HS) trouble

What does F1 mean?

This error indicates a malfunction with the high-pressure sensor (HS), which is crucial for monitoring the refrigerant system's high-side pressure. A faulty sensor can lead to incorrect pressure readings and system shutdown.

• Faulty high-pressure sensor (HS).
• Loose or corroded wiring connection to the sensor.
• Control board issue affecting sensor readings.

1. 1

   Turn off the main power to the outdoor unit by switching off its dedicated circuit breaker.

2. 2

   Locate the high-pressure sensor on the outdoor unit's refrigerant lines.

3. 3

   Carefully inspect the sensor's electrical connections for any signs of damage, corrosion, or looseness.

4. 4

   Ensure the sensor itself is not physically damaged or leaking refrigerant.

5. 5

   Power cycle the unit by turning the breaker back on after inspection.
