Full Diagnosis
Suction Over Temp Event. Suction over-temperature event detected.
All Recorded Causes
Check refrigerant charge (low refrigerant causes high suction superheat). Inspect for restricted airflow on indoor coil. Check indoor filter. Verify suction temperature sensor reading. Board retries after 15 minutes.
Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact Bryant model family and air conditioners context before acting on a generic code description.
- Verify airflow first, then confirm operating pressures and temperature relationship before adjusting charge, since check refrigerant charge (low refrigerant causes high suction superheat).
- Look for restrictions, iced coils, or dirty heat-transfer surfaces that can mimic a charge problem, and separately confirm inspect for restricted airflow on indoor coil.
- After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the air conditioners fault does not return under normal load.
