Possible Causes

Indoor coil thermistor out of range, Poor sensor contact with coil, Severely clogged air filter causing coil to freeze, Indoor fan not running

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before servicing.

Steps:

  • 1. Check air filters: Remove and clean filters thoroughly with water and mild detergent. Dry completely before reinstalling.
  • 2. Inspect indoor fan operation: In fan-only mode, ensure the blower runs smoothly. If not, address fan motor issues.
  • 3. Inspect coil sensor: Confirm the indoor coil thermistor is properly clipped to the coil and wiring is intact.
  • 4. Defrost the coil: If the coil is iced over, leave the unit off and open the front panel to allow ice to melt naturally. Do not use sharp tools.

If H28 recurs after airflow and sensor checks, the thermistor or indoor PCB may need replacement.
