Troubleshooting Outdoor Components

The exhaust temperature sensor monitors the refrigerant discharge temperature and will send information to the

inverter control board for system operation.

The following actions can occur:

Exhaust Temperature > 208 F - Compressor will not rise above present level

Exhaust Temperature > 217 F - Compressor will run at reduced frequency

Exhaust Temperature < 194 F - Compressor off for 3 minutes minimum, the compressor will restart

Error Code F5 will be generated if the sensor is open or shorted. Please refer to the troubleshooting section for

more detailed information.
