Compressor protector open. The compressor is off.
Likely causes
- No current through the run or start windings
- Compressor run winding is open
- Compressor not wired to the control, or other faulty compressor wiring
- Failed run capacitor or faulty run-capacitor wiring
Safe checks for P0
- Write down P0 before power is cycled. The chart says the fault can clear after 1 normal cycle or by cycling 24 VAC to the control, after the cause is corrected
- Techniciancheck the compressor, the wiring, and the run capacitor
Capacitors can hold a charge after the power is off. Safety terms.
When to call a pro
