Full Diagnosis
High Temperature Protection of Compressor Top. Compressor top high-temperature protection; applies only for 9k and 12k models.
All Recorded Causes
Check refrigerant charge level. Inspect for restricted airflow over condenser coil. Check compressor discharge temperature. Verify outdoor fan operation. Inspect compressor top temperature sensor.
Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact Bryant model family and ductless systems 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 level.
- Look for restrictions, iced coils, or dirty heat-transfer surfaces that can mimic a charge problem, and separately confirm inspect for restricted airflow over condenser coil.
- After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the ductless systems fault does not return under normal load.
