Common Lennox Mini Split Error Codes
While error codes may differ from model to model, there are some codes you’ll be more likely to see. To identify what your error code may mean, consider the following:
Here are a handful of the more common error codes for Lennox mini splits.
E1 – Indoor / Outdoor Unit Communication
In general, an E1 error code signifies that communication between the mini split system’s indoor and outdoor units has been hampered. It could be facing intermittent connection problems or have failed entirely. When the indoor and outdoor units can’t communicate with one another, it will be unable to effectively balance indoor temperatures.
E5 – Voltage Protection or Temperature Sensor Error
If you own a mini split heat pump, an E5 error can stand for a problem with the system’s voltage. A repair technician from Air Quality Solutions may refer to it as overcurrent protection. Both excessively high or low voltage can create this error code.
For mini split air conditioners, this code can also represent voltage issues. In other cases, it’s pointing you to a circuit problem with the outdoor temperature sensor.
E6 – Indoor / Outdoor Unit Communication
An E6 error code can also refer to a communication problem between the two units, similar to an E1 code. It could also be a problem with one of the temperature sensors.
P4 – Compressor Drive Error / High Temperature
A P4 error code will usually be concerned with your mini splits compressor system, located within the outdoor unit. When the compressor drive is faulty, the most likely cause is excessively high temperatures. A high temperature at the discharge line could also lead to a P4 code.
P6 – Compressor Switch Open or Drive Board Failure
Your mini split system will have computer boards that make sure the indoor and outdoor units can communicate with one another. If the drive board is malfunctioning, a P6 error code is common.
When temperatures rise above safe levels, a safety switch should protect the electrical components of your mini split system, including any components that manage the outdoor compressor. If this switch is open, the P6 code could appear. You may also find the P6 code if the compressor is struggling with high or low pressure concerns.
Review the Manual for Your Specific Model
Remember that in general, error codes are specific to each model of a Lennox mini split system. Your manual will have a guide for these error codes and what they should mean. But as many of these codes start with electrical problems, professional experience is often needed.
