Lennox mini-split systems are a solid way to provide compact, yet powerful temperature control for your home. Some models are built for air conditioning only, while heat pump models can provide both heating and cooling.

But no ductless mini-split is flawless. There’s always a possibility your mini-split can malfunction. To determine what went wrong, you should locate where the mini-split error codes are displayed. Recognizing what these codes mean can help ensure fast mini-split repair, especially if professional help is needed.

What the error code means will ultimately rely on the specific model of your mini-split system. You can check your manual to find a guide for what each code means. You can also contact the HVAC pros at A2Z Air Inc. Our technicians are trained to recognize these codes in order to ensure prompt mini-split repair in Boynton Beach.

Common Error Codes for Lennox Mini Splits

While error codes may differ from model to model, there are some codes you’ll be more likely to come across. To learn what your error code could mean, ask yourself the following:

Is your system a mini-split air conditioner or a mini-split heat pump?

Are there additional signs of what is happening? A strange noise coming from a specific component, for example.

Here are a few of the more common error codes for Lennox mini-splits.

E1 – Indoor / Outdoor Unit Communication

In general, an E1 error code means that communication between the mini-split system’s indoor and outdoor units has been disrupted. It could be struggling with intermittent connection problems or have failed entirely. When the indoor and outdoor units can’t communicate with one another, it will not be able to properly balance indoor temperatures.

E5 – Voltage Protection or Temperature Sensor Error

If you own a mini-split heat pump, an E5 error may refer to a problem with the system’s voltage. A repair technician from A2Z Air Inc may refer to it as overcurrent protection. Both excessively high or low voltage can result in this error code.

For mini-split air conditioners, this code may also stand for voltage issues. In other cases, it’s alerting you to a circuit problem with the outdoor temperature sensor.

E6 – Indoor / Outdoor Unit Communication

An E6 error code can also refer to a communication problem between the two units, like an E1 code. It may also be an issue with one of the temperature sensors.

P4 – Compressor Drive Error / High Temperature

A P4 error code will usually be related to your mini-splits compressor system, located within the outdoor unit. When the compressor drive is faulty, the most likely cause is excessively high temperatures. A high temperature at the discharge line may also trigger a P4 code.

P6 – Compressor Switch Open or Drive Board Failure

Your mini-split system will have computer boards that make sure the indoor and outdoor units can communicate with one another. If the drive board is faulty, a P6 error code is common.

When temperatures rise above safe levels, a safety switch should protect the electrical components of your mini-split system, including any components that manage the outdoor compressor. If this switch is open, the P6 code can appear. You may also find the P6 code if the compressor is experiencing high or low pressure issues.

Consult Your Manual for Your Specific Model

Keep in mind that in general, error codes are different for each model of a Lennox mini-split system. Your manual will have a guide for these error codes and what they should mean. But because many of these codes refer to electrical problems, professional experience is usually needed.
