Lennox Split & Multi-Split

Lennox Error Code E433

Split & Multi-Split: Air conditioner (outdoor), Heat pump (outdoor)

What It Means

  • The inverter has detected a compressor over-current condition

Causes & actions from Lennox

How it shows
  • Inverter code: 29
  • Inverter LED flash code: Red 2 flashes, Green 9 flashes (green: flashing ×9, red: flashing ×2)
  • Outdoor control 7-segment display: E433

Error occurs when compressor peak phase current is greater than 28A. Inverter issues code 14 first and slows down to try to reduce the current. If the current remains high, outdoor unit compressor and fan stop. Anti-short cycle is initiated. If condition occurs five times within an hour, system is locked out. To clear, disconnect power to the indoor unit (24VAC power source to the outdoor control) which will power off the outdoor control and will open the outdoor unit contactor, which interrupts power to the inverter and then re-apply power.

Error occurs when compressor peak phase current is greater than 28A. Inverter issues code 14 first and slows down to try to reduce the current. If the current remains high, outdoor unit compressor and fan stop. Antishort cycle is initiated. If condition occurs 5 times within an hour, system is locked out. To clear, disconnect power to the indoor unit (24VAC power source to the outdoor control) which will power off the outdoor control and will open the outdoor unit contactor, which interrupts power to the inverter and then re-apply power.

Error occurs when compressor peak phase current is greater than 28A. Inverter issues code 14 first and slows down to try to reduce the current. If the current remains high, outdoor unit compressor and fan stop. Anti-short cycle is initiated. If condition occurs five times within an hour, the unitary control will cycle the contactor to prevent the unit from locking out. To clear, disconnect power to the indoor unit (24VAC power source to the outdoor control) which will power off the outdoor control and will open the outdoor unit contactor, which interrupts power to the inverter and then re-apply power.

If the current remains high, outdoor unit compressor and fan stop. Anti-short cycle is initiated. If condition occurs five times within an hour, the Unitary Control will cycle the unit contactor to prevent a system lockout. To clear, disconnect power to the indoor unit (24VAC power source to the outdoor control) which will power off the outdoor control and will open the outdoor unit contactor, which interrupts power to the inverter and then re-apply power.
