How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power to the outdoor unit before adjusting dip switches or accessing the control board.

  • 1. Confirm outdoor model selection: In the thermostat installer setup, verify the correct Lennox condenser model and capacity are selected.
  • 2. Check outdoor dip switches: On the outdoor control board, verify staging, capacity, and other configuration switches match the installation manual.
  • 3. Reinitialize communication: Power down both indoor and outdoor units, then power up indoor first, then outdoor, then thermostat to allow re-synchronization.
  • 4. Verify board part number: Ensure any replacement outdoor control board is the correct Lennox part for your model.

When to call a pro: If configuration options are unclear or undocumented, a Lennox dealer should perform commissioning.
