Carrier conditioner error codes



Carrier air conditioners are well-known throughout the world. The air conditioners of this make are distinguished by excellent ergonomics and high-performance level. The error codes for diagnostics of this equipment can be found below in the form of a table. The system can correct some breakings itself, but it does not help in all cases. Therefore, one should have such a table to hand. It allows to decipher any error code and assign repair.

Carrier 48VL-A air error codes

Air conditioners Carrier 48VL-A as well as split are single packaged air conditioners having the gas furnace system. They use R-410 A as refrigerant. These are heat/electric cooling systems which are able to use the comfort of gas heating packaged along with efficient electric air conditioning.

SYMPTOMCAUSEREMEDY
No Power or Hardware failure (LED OFF)Loss of power to control module (IGC).Check 5-amp fuse son IGC, power to unit, 24-v circuit breaker, and transformer. Units without a 24-v circuit breaker have an internal overload in the 24-v transformer. If the overload trips, allow 10 minutes for automatic reset.
Limit switch faults (LED 2 flashes)High temperature limit switch is open.Check the operation of the indoor (evaporator) fan motor. Ensure that the supply-air temperature rise is in accordance with the range on the unit nameplate. Clean or replace filters.
Flame sense fault (LED 3 flashes)The IGC sensed flame that should not be present.Reset unit. If problem persists, replace control board.
4 consecutive limit switch faults (LED 4 flashes)Inadequate airflow to unit.Check the operation of the indoor (evaporator) fan motor and that supply-air temperature rise agrees with range on unit nameplate information.
Ignition lockout fault (LED 5 flashes)Unit unsuccessfully attempted ignition for 15 minutes.Check ignitor and flame sensor electrode spacing, gaps, etc. Ensure that fame sense and ignition wires are properly terminated. Verify that unit is obtaining proper amount of gas.
Pressure Switch fault (LED 6 flashes)Open pressure switch.Verify wiring connections to pressure switch and inducer motor. Verify pressure switch hose is tightly connected to both inducer housing and pressure switch. Verify inducer wheel is properly attached to inducer motor shaft. Verify inducer motor shaft is turning.
Rollout switch fault (LED 7 flashes)Rollout switch has opened.Rollout switch will automatically reset, but IGC will continue to lockout unit. Check gas valve operation. Ensure that induced-draft blower wheel is properly secured to motor shaft. Inspect heat exchanger. Reset unit at unit disconnect.
Internal control fault (LED 8 flashes)Microprocessor has sensed an error in the software or hardware.If error code is not cleared by resetting unit power, replace the IGC.
Temporary 1 hr auto reset1 (LED 9 flashes)Electrical interference impeding IGC softwareReset 24-v. to control board or turn thermostat off, then on again. Fault will automatically reset itself in one (1) hour.

Air conditioners Carrier 50EJ are single-package rooftop units. They provide electric cooling with electric heat option. They have indoor sections and roof curbs, which are delivered disassembled. The refrigerant of the type R-22 is used in their system.

LED BLINKSERROR CODEDESCRIPTIONTROUBLESHOOTING COMMENTS
1Normal OperationThe expansion board and control board flash the red LED in one- second intervals when the board is operating properly.
2HF-13Compressor 1 SafetyThe high or low pressure safety switch for compressor no. 1 has opened for 3 seconds. The error will be cleared and compressor no. 1 will be allowed to turn on in 15 minutes. If the safeties have been tripped 3 times in 90 minutes, compressor no. 1 will be locked out until the control board has been manually reset.
3HF-14Compressor 2 SafetyThe high or low pressure safety switch for compressor no. 2 has opened for 3 seconds. The error will be cleared and compressor no. 2 will be allowed to turn on in 15 minutes. If the safeties have been tripped 3 times in 90 minutes, compressor no. 2 will be locked out until the control board has been manually reset.
4HF-15Thermostat FailureThe thermostat is calling for both heating and cooling at the same time. The unit will operate on a first call basis and will auto- matically reset.
5HF-05SAT Thermistor FailureThe supply-air temperature (SAT) sensor has failed. First check for wiring errors, then replace sensor.
6HF-06OAT Thermistor FailureThe outside-air temperature (OAT) sensor has failed. First check for wiring errors, then replace sensor.
7HF-03Space Temp. Sen. FailureThe space temperature sensor has failed. First check for wiring errors, then replace sensor.
8HF-12RAT Thermistor FailureThe return-air temperature (RAT) sensor has failed. Ensure that the unit is a VAV unit. If NOT a VAV unit set DIP switch position 1 to the closed position and reset power. Then check for wiring errors. Finally, replace sensor.
9SE-05Loss of Communications with Expansion boardCommunications between the expansion board and the control board have been interrupted. Ensure that an expansion board is installed and wired using the wire harness supplied with the expansion module. If an expansion board is not used ensure that DIP switch position 3 is in the closed position, and reset power.
10HF-16Control Board FailureGenerated when hardware has failed on control board. Replace the control board.
11HF-17Expansion Board FailureGenerated when hardware has failed on the expansion board. Replace the expansion board.
