Possible Causes

Refrigerant leak in circuit, low-pressure switch failure, wiring fault to pressure switch, blocked evaporator airflow causing low suction pressure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Critical safety: Refrigerant work must be performed by a certified refrigeration technician. Do not attempt to open the sealed circuit.

  • Disconnect power and visually inspect the heat pump module for oil stains or corrosion on joints, which may indicate a refrigerant leak.
  • Locate the low-pressure switch and check its electrical connector and wiring back to the control board.
  • If wiring is intact, the switch may be open due to low refrigerant or a defective switch.
  • Clean the air filter and ensure the evaporator coil is not blocked by dust, which can affect pressures.
  • If E10 persists, contact an authorized Atlantic service center to check system pressures, repair leaks, and recharge refrigerant as needed.
