What to do if my Carrier 69NT40-561-201 Air Conditioner shows AL08 error?
- A
  Alisha MillerAug 3, 2025
  If your Carrier Air Conditioner displays the AL08 error, indicating a high compressor pressure ratio, first confirm the accuracy of the DPT pressure readings, referring to the MANIFOLD GAUGE SET Section 6.2. If the DPT is defective, it should be replaced. The controller attempts to correct this by restarting the compressor when it detects the discharge pressure to suction pressure ratio is too high.

  Nicholas PriceAug 9, 2025
  If your Carrier Air Conditioner shows the AL14 error, which indicates a Phase Sequence Detect Fault, try power cycling the unit. Check the unit wiring and confirm pressure readings during start-up; suction pressure should decrease and discharge pressure should increase. Check Cd41, right most digit: If display is 3 or 4 check compressor / sensor wiring. If display is 5 the current sensor is defective. If the current sensor is defective, replace it.

  If your Carrier Air Conditioner displays the AL03 error, indicating a loss of superheat control, check the operation of the EEV using Cd41. Replace the EEV if it's defective. Also, verify the accuracy of the temperature sensors, refer to Sensor Checkout Procedure Section 6.22, and replace the ETS or ETS1 if defective. Confirm the evaporator fans are operating properly, and replace them if they are not working, refer to EVAPORATOR FAN MOTOR ASSEMBLY Section 6.14. This error occurs when the superheat remains below 1.66°C (3°F) for five continuous minutes while the compressor is running, the compressor is drawing more than 2.0 amps, the compressor pressure ratio is greater than 1.8, and the Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) is at 0% open.

What to do if my Carrier 69NT40-561-201 displays AL06 Keypad error?
- S
  Sarah CordovaAug 19, 2025
  If your Carrier Air Conditioner is showing AL06 error, which indicates a Keypad or Keypad Harness Fail, try power cycling the unit. If the alarm reappears, replace the keypad and harness. This error occurs when the controller detects continuous activity from one of the keypad keys.

What to do if my Carrier 69NT40-561-201 shows AL05 Manual Defrost Switch Failure?
- A
  Andrea GilesAug 23, 2025
  If your Carrier Air Conditioner displays the AL05 error, which indicates a Manual Defrost Switch Failure, power cycle the unit. If the alarm reappears after 5 minutes, replace the keypad. This error occurs when the controller detects continuous Manual Defrost Switch activity for five minutes or more.

Why is my Carrier 69NT40-561-201 showing AL07 error?
- C
  Christopher HernandezAug 29, 2025
  If your Carrier Air Conditioner displays AL07, and the fresh air vent is open with a frozen set point, manually reposition the vent and confirm using Cd45, referring to VENT POSITION SENSOR SERVICE Section 6.23. If you are unable to obtain a zero reading, replace the defective VPS. The error occurs when the VPS reads greater than 0 CMH while the unit is in frozen mode.
