    What does Alert A110 mean on my Carrier 48GC?
    • G
      Gabriel ColemanSep 23, 2025
      Alert A110 on your Carrier Air Conditioner indicates that the SPT sensor is out of range. This is usually due to a faulty thermistor or an incorrect thermistor caused by improper ohm reading. When this alert is active, cooling and heating will not operate.
