4. High Condenser Temperature Alarm (clogged filter) (E7)

The unit is equipped with a condenser air filter to protect the condenser from dirt, grease, etc. The condenser air filter promotes clean condenser surfaces and efficient operation and should be checked twice monthly and cleaned when necessary. The unit is also equipped with a condenser thermistor to determine if the condenser or condenser air filter is excessively dirty. If the condenser thermistor detects a temperature that exceeds the preset temperature value (136.4°F (58°C)) for over 2 minutes, "E7" will be displayed.

CAUTION

Failure to take action when this alarm activates could result in damage to the compressor.

Reset Options

After cleaning the filter, the alarm will automatically reset once the temperature at the condenser outlet drops below 136.4°F (58°C).

Possible Causes (for further details see "III.B. Service Chart")

The condenser or condenser air filter is dirty.

The condenser fan motor is not functioning.

Note: If the power is turned off and then back on while the alarm signal is displayed, the alarm may be reset even if the condenser or condenser air filter has not been cleaned. However, the alarm will repeat once the compressor discharge temperature reaches 136.4°F (58°C).
