How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power at the outdoor isolator before opening the outdoor unit.

Steps:

  • Locate condenser sensor: Remove the outdoor service panel. The sensor is usually clipped to the condenser coil or discharge line.
  • Check attachment: Ensure the sensor is firmly clipped to the coil or pipe and not dangling.
  • Inspect cable: Look for cracks, UV damage, or chew marks on the sensor cable. Replace if damaged.

Resolution: Replace the outdoor condenser temperature sensor with the Bosch-specified part. If the error remains, the outdoor PCB sensor circuit may be faulty and should be checked by a technician.
