My Comfort aire heat pump has a F0 error code and it looks like system charge shortage or blockage protection or Refrigerate recovery mode…it’s not even a year old and I got it from the weatherization program. Wonder which issue it is and is this expensive or warrantied ya think?
Hi Paula, thanks for your comment.
If it is under warranty, the cost of repairs or replacement should be covered.
They will have the necessary equipment and expertise to identify the root cause of the error code and provide you with an estimate for repairs or replacement.
I need to know what this code means cause it’s not in the book/ manual that came with it Lo or L0 I’m not sure if it’s a zero or letter O my company bought 120 unit an all of them say that code and that plastic fan I guess the cooling fan are all rotting breaking these things are a year-and-a-half-old and I got one that has a bad compressor and I think we’ve replaced at least 20 of them and it’s really hard to find them because they’re being up saluted
What does df mean? I get it frequently. Today it is snowing, blowing and cold. It shuts off almost every hour or less and has df on the panel. I cant find explanation for that code. I turn it off and turn it back on and it works until next time.
That means the outside unit is defrosting. It will do that so the unit doesn’t freeze up.
What’s an E7 Running Mode Conflict? I cleaned the filters. One unit works, the other does nothing and displays E7. That’s not in my Operation Manual.
Mine won’t stay on. I unplug it and plug it back in and it comes on but shuts off after a few seconds…no error code, all the lights flash once and then it cycles once through the numbers 22, 44, 77, 88 and then goes blank
Mine does exactly same thing and I have not found anything online yet to tell what that means. Someone please help
