Possible Causes

Room temperature above display range, Extremely high heat load, Faulty room sensor reading too high, Restricted airflow or undersized unit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Verify temperature: Use a separate thermometer to confirm actual room temperature. If the room is extremely hot, HI may be normal.
  • Improve conditions: Close doors and windows, use blinds to reduce solar gain, and reduce heat sources in the room.
  • Check filter and coils: Clean the air filter and ensure coils are clean to maximize cooling capacity.
  • Sensor test: If HI appears in a moderate-temperature room, test and replace the room thermistor as needed.
