High Pressure Switch has Shut the Unit Down

switch shuts the compressor and condenser down if the head pressure in the system is too high. It is
intended to protect the compressor. Restricted airflow through the condenser is the most common
reason for the pressure to become too high. This can be caused by dust covering the filter or an
obstruction blocking the airflow in the duct or grille.
