Carrier error codes

Air Conditioning FAQs

What are error codes anyway?

Error codes help people know when their air conditioning system needs to be repaired or isn’t working optimally. Each error code has a meaning to help you understand the problem and what needs to be done to fix it.

Below are the error codes for Carrier systems and the matching explanation.

What do I do if I see an error code?

  1. Try to reset your system as a first step

This will delete your AC’s on board memory. We recommend trying this simple trouble-shooting solution before spending money on a service call.

Separate your AC system from its power supply. Unplug it from a power point, turn off the isolator next to the outdoor unit or shut down your house’s power from the electrical board. Then leave it for 15 to 30 minutes.

  1. Call a technician who can solve the problem for you

Have a technician come out to look into the issue. This will make sure you don’t accidentally cause further damage to your air conditioning system.
