Fault code

E8: Outdoor discharge temperature sensor fault

E8 means the outdoor discharge temperature sensor is reporting a fault. Discharge temperature is a compressor-circuit reading, not the room temperature you set on the remote. The owner step published for this code is to record E8, switch power off at the breaker for a few minutes, and switch it back on. If the code returns, call support with E8 and your model number. The page marks the repair pro-only. Do not open the outdoor electrical box or unplug sensors on the compressor discharge line. That check belongs to a licensed HVAC technician.

What to do

  1. 1Note the code, switch the unit off at the breaker for a few minutes, then switch it back on. If the code returns, call support with the code and your model number.

Sensor, board, fan motor and refrigerant repairs need a licensed HVAC technician. Have your model number and purchase date ready when you call.
