XC14 SERIES
When liquid line temperature drops below 50°F the
thermostat closes energizing HR1. The thermostat will
open, de−energizing HR1 once liquid line temperature
reaches 70°F .
Liquid Line Filter Drier
A filter drier is factory-installed as illustrated in
Unit
Dimensions
on page 2, with each XC14 unit to ensure a
clean, moisture−free system. A replacement filter drier is
available from Lennox. Refer to Lennox Repair Part
Program.
IMPORTANT
Some scroll compressor have internal vacuum protector
that will unload scrolls when suction pressure goes
below 20 psig. A hissing sound will be heard when the
compressor is running unloaded. Protector will reset
when low pressure in system is raised above 40 psig. DO
NOT REPLACE COMPRESSOR.
Maintenance
DEALER
Maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified
installer or service agency. At the beginning of each
cooling season, the system should be checked as follows:
Outdoor Unit
1. Clean and inspect the outdoor coil. The coil may be
flushed with a water hose. Ensure the power is turned
off before you clean the coil.
2. Outdoor fan motor is prelubricated and sealed. No
further lubrication is needed.
3. Visually inspect connecting lines and coils for
evidence of oil leaks.
4. Check wiring for loose connections.
5. Check for correct voltage at the unit (with the unit
operating).
6. Check amp−draw outdoor fan motor.

NOTE − If owner reports insufficient cooling, the unit should
be gauged and refrigerant charge checked.
Outdoor Coil
It may be necessary to flush the outdoor coil more
frequently if it is exposed to substances which are
corrosive or which block airflow across the coil (e.g., pet
urine, cottonwood seeds, fertilizers, fluids that may contain
high levels of corrosive chemicals such as salts)
Outdoor Coil The outdoor coil may be flushed with
a water hose.
Outdoor Coil (Sea Coast) Moist air in ocean
locations can carry salt, which is corrosive to most
metal. Units that are located near the ocean require
frequent inspections and maintenance. These
inspections will determine the necessary need to wash
the unit including the outdoor coil. Consult your
installing contractor for proper intervals/procedures
for your geographic area or service contract.
INDOOR UNIT
1. Clean or change filters.
2. Adjust blower speed for cooling. Measure the pressure
drop over the coil to determine the correct blower CFM.
Refer to the unit information service manual for pressure
drop tables and procedure.
3. Check blower drive belt for wear and proper tension.
4. Check all wiring for loose connections
5. Check for correct voltage at unit (blower operating).
6. Check amp−draw on blower motor.

INDOOR COIL
1. Clean coil, if necessary.
2. Check connecting lines and coils for signs of oil leaks.
3. Check condensate line and clean, if necessary.
HOMEOWNER
Cleaning of the outdoor unit’s coil should be performed by
a trained service technician. Contact your dealer and set
up a schedule (preferably twice a year, but at least once a
year) to inspect and service your outdoor unit. The
following maintenance may be performed by the
homeowner.
IMPORTANT
Sprinklers and soaker hoses should not be installed
where they could cause prolonged exposure to the
outdoor unit by treated water. Prolonged exposure of the
unit to treated water (i.e., sprinkler systems, soakers,
waste water, etc.) will corrode the surface of steel and
aluminum parts and diminish performance and longevity
of the unit.
Outdoor Coil
The outdoor unit must be properly maintained to ensure its
proper operation.
Please contact your dealer to schedule proper
inspection and maintenance for your equipment.
Make sure no obstructions restrict airflow to the
outdoor unit.
Grass clippings, leaves, or shrubs crowding the unit
can cause the unit to work harder and use more
energy.
Keep shrubbery trimmed away from the unit and
periodically check for debris which collects around the
unit.
Cleaning of the outdoor unit’s coil should be performed by
a trained service technician. Contact your dealer and set
up a schedule (preferably twice a year, but at least once a
year) to inspect and service your outdoor unit.
Routine Maintenance
In order to ensure peak performance, your system must be
properly maintained. Clogged filters and blocked airflow
prevent your unit from operating at its most efficient level.

Ask your Lennox dealer to show you
where your indoor unit’s filter is located. It will be either
