Urgency
advisory
Do not operate around a disabled refrigerant sensor. Schedule service before relying on the unit.
Likely causes
- Refrigerant sensor operating outside its allowed range
- Refrigerant sensor malfunction
- Sensor module or harness issue
- Sensor service-life or specified-replacement issue
Homeowner fix
Stop using the unit if the code remains after a single safe power reset. Do not open the indoor unit or disconnect the sensor.
When to call a pro
Call a licensed HVAC technician if EHC3 appears. Tell them the Blueridge manual says the refrigerant sensor condition is out of range.
