Full Diagnosis
Condenser coil temperature fault.
All Recorded Causes
Coil sensor detects abnormally low or high coil temperature, sensor out of range, loose/damaged sensor wiring, poor sensor connection, or failed sensor.
Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact Rheem model family and ac and heat pump context before acting on a generic code description.
- Confirm filter condition, blower operation, and coil cleanliness before replacing any controls — start by ruling out whether coil sensor detects abnormally low or high coil temperature, sensor out of range, loose/da….
- Measure airflow-related readings that match the symptom, such as temperature split or static pressure, and check whether the next candidate on the list.
- After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the ac and heat pump fault does not return under normal load.
