Shorted first-stage pressure switch. Use this page to document the issue and prepare for service. GreenFlow should handle diagnosis for electrical, refrigerant, lockout, or recurring conditions.
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.
