Possible Causes

Outdoor temperature below Bryant minimum operating limit, Faulty outdoor ambient sensor, Incorrect thermostat or board configuration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: None beyond normal precautions; this is a control/operating condition, not a high-voltage fault.

Steps:

  • 1. Check outdoor temperature: Verify actual outdoor temperature. Many Bryant air conditioners are not designed to run below ~55°F without low-ambient kits.
  • 2. Verify sensor reading: Compare the thermostat's displayed outdoor temperature to a reliable thermometer. If readings are far off, inspect and possibly replace the outdoor ambient sensor.
  • 3. Confirm configuration: Ensure the thermostat and control board are configured for an air conditioner (not heat pump) and that any low-ambient lockout settings are appropriate.
  • 4. Avoid low-temp cooling: Do not force the system to run in low ambient conditions; this can damage the compressor.
