    What to do if my Carrier Air Conditioner compressor and fan of the outdoor unit will not start?
    • J
      Joshua JonesAug 13, 2025
      If the compressor and fan of the outdoor unit won't start, begin by checking the mains power connections and ensuring the unit is switched to the ON position. If that doesn't work, wait for 3 minutes to see if the compressor cycling protection is active. Check and eliminate the cause (refer to “Additional installation instructions”). Also, examine the electrical connections for looseness or errors and repair them if necessary.

    Why does my Carrier 42PHQ024P Air Conditioner compressor run continuously?
    • W
      whitemicheleAug 17, 2025
      If the compressor runs continuously, check the temperature selection. A low refrigerant charge could also be the cause, so verify and add refrigerant if needed. Additionally, air or other non-condensable gases in the circuit might be the issue, requiring you to drain the refrigerant, evacuate, and recharge the system. Finally, check for any obstructions and clean the filter.

    What to do if my Carrier 42PHQ024P discharge pressure is too high?
    • K
      Kevin McgrathAug 21, 2025
      If the discharge pressure is too high, start by cleaning the outdoor coil or removing any obstructions. If the refrigerant charge is too high, drain some refrigerant. Also, if there is air or other non-condensable gases in the circuit, drain the refrigerant, evacuate, and recharge the system. Check the head pressure controller by connecting the fan directly and replace the HPC if necessary.

    What to do if my Carrier 42PHQ024P compressor will not start, but outdoor fan is running?
    • M
      michaelgreenAug 26, 2025
      If the compressor won't start but the outdoor fan is running, check the compressor's electrical connections for looseness or errors and repair them. Also, the compressor might be burnt out, seized, or its protection device could be activated, so check for the cause and replace the compressor if necessary.

    What to do if my Carrier 42PHQ024P Air Conditioner has frequent ice build-up on outdoor coil during heating?
    • P
      Patricia CaseyAug 28, 2025
      If there's frequent ice build-up on the outdoor coil during heating, check if the outdoor fan is working correctly and repair if needed. Also, check the electrical connections between the indoor and outdoor units and repair any wrong connections.

    What to do if my Carrier Air Conditioner compressor starts, but stops due to its overtemperature protection?
    • S
      Sharon HowellSep 1, 2025
      If the compressor starts but stops due to overtemperature protection, it could be due to a wrong refrigerant charge (excessive or low) or air/non-condensable gases in the circuit; in this case, drain refrigerant, evacuate, and recharge. Remove any obstructions. Check cause and repair. Check and replace. Check and remove obstructions.

    What to do if my Carrier 42PHQ024P Air Conditioner discharge pressure is too low?
    • B
      Bryan Roberson DDSSep 5, 2025
      If the discharge pressure is too low, it could be due to a low refrigerant charge, in which case you should add refrigerant. Another cause could be a dirty or obstructed outdoor coil, so clean or remove any obstructions. Also, a dirty indoor unit air filter can cause this issue, so clean the filter.

    What causes outdoor fan cycling due to its overtemperature protection in Carrier Air Conditioner?
    • F
      fredrichardsSep 8, 2025
      If the outdoor fan is cycling due to its overtemperature protection, the fan capacitor might be faulty, so replace it. Check connections and repair.
