HVAC fault codes, by control board

A fault code identifies which safety circuit tripped, not how to fix it. These pages put the code in plain language, tell you whether it is a check you can safely make or a call for a technician, and cite the maker's service manual. Every control board differs — the same flash count means different things on different models — so start from your brand.

This is a growing library. A page is added only once its code map can be traced to the manufacturer's published service manual — we do not reproduce tables from memory or from unverified sources.

What these pages do not do

They do not describe repairing a gas, combustion, refrigerant or control-board component. For most codes the correct repair is certified work, and the honest value we can add is telling you which cases those are, so you neither overpay nor put yourself at risk attempting one. We are not affiliated with any manufacturer and are not an official support channel.
