Full Diagnosis
Airflow CFM mismatch.
All Recorded Causes
Indoor air mover cannot supply required airflow for proper system operation, wrong indoor unit size, restricted airflow, dirty filter, duct restriction, or communicating setup mismatch.
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 indoor air mover cannot supply required airflow for proper system operation, wrong indoor….
- 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.
