How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit. Outdoor sections may have sharp metal edges; wear gloves.

  • Step 1 – Access outdoor sensor:
    • On portable heat pump units, the condenser coil is inside the cabinet; remove the rear panel.
    • Locate the sensor clipped to the condenser coil or discharge line.
  • Step 2 – Inspect and test:
    • Check that the sensor is firmly attached and wires are intact.
    • Test resistance with a multimeter; compare to service data if available.
  • Step 3 – Replace sensor:
    • Install a new Pro Breeze Outdoor / Condenser Temperature Sensor if the old one is defective.

If F3 remains, the main PCB may misread the sensor and require replacement.
