Homeowner fix

Turn the system off and wait at least 3 minutes before one safe reset. If the code returns, do not keep forcing starts.

When to call a pro

Call a licensed HVAC technician if F6 returns after one safe reset or the condition will not clear. Tell them the official source lists F6 as Compressor lack of phase / anti-phase protection.

Repair vs replace

Inverter-drive and compressor repairs can be expensive. On older out-of-warranty systems, compare major board or compressor quotes with replacement.
