Lennox Error Code 429

Equipment not specified:

What It Means

  • OD Inverter DC Link Low Voltage

Causes & actions from Lennox

How it shows
  • iComfort S30 alert: 429
  • s30 inverter flash code: 23

Priority condition: Service Soon/Service Urgent The inverter has detected a DC link low voltage condition. • On a call for compressor operation, if DC link power in inverter does not rise above 180 VDC for 2- and 3-ton models, 250 VDC for 4- and 5-ton models within 30 seconds, the control will display a moderate code. • If condition is detected, outdoor unit will stop (compressor and fan) – moderate condition. • An anti-short cycle timer is initiated. If condition occurs 10 times within a 60 consecutive minutes, system will lock out and display alert code 429 – critical condition. • The outdoor control anti-short cycle timer will time out and the unit will recycle the demand. • Inverter LEDs will flash code 23. • Refer to the unit service documentation for detailed troubleshooting procedures. Perform test function and verify inverter DC link and line input voltage and current. Also check input to filter board and reactor before replacing inverter board. To perform this test, go to menu > settings > advanced settings > view dealer control center > tests. Priority condition: Service Soon/Service Urgent Inverter flash code 23. Priority condition: Service Soon/Service Urgent The sequence is: • Red LED: Two Flashes • Green LED: Three Flashes NOTE: Inverter normal operations with no error code present is as follows. Red LED is ON and Green LED is OFF. Troubleshooting Suggestions: • Check wire connections (U, V and W) at inverter plug in harness and compressor. • Check the resistance of compressor windings. If not in range, replace compressor. • Check compressor to ground. If ground issue, replace compressor. • Check input power (Single Phase - 208/230VAC + 10%. If out of range, correct main power issue. • Check DC Link voltage and MICOM Sensing voltage. If out of range, replace inverter. if okay, possible mechanical issue with compressor. Go to outdoor unit service manual for detail troubleshooting procedures and require values for testing DC link voltages and various insulation resistance characteristics.
