Alert 165.01: Low superheat fault

The Trane variable-speed alert table identifies LO SUPERHEAT when low superheat persists for the documented period.

System area: Refrigerant circuit
Service level: Call GreenFlow

Safe checks before calling

Confirm the thermostat is on, set correctly, and calling for heating or cooling.
Check the air filter and visible return-air path for obvious airflow restrictions.
Look around the outdoor unit for leaves, snow, ice, or other visible obstructions without opening the cabinet.
Take photos of the thermostat, outdoor unit, nameplate, and any visible flash pattern before scheduling service.

When to stop and call GreenFlow

Call GreenFlow if the code repeats, the system is locked out, heating or cooling is not restored, there is ice buildup, electrical odor, unusual noise, or any issue involving pressure switches, sensors, wiring, refrigerant, reversing-valve operation, or warranty coverage.

Share the visible code, model and serial number if available, photos, current symptoms, and whether the issue affects heating, cooling, or both.
