What it means
Fd means communication of the refrigerant sensor is abnormal. In plain English, the refrigerant detector is not communicating or responding normally.
Urgency
Likely causes
- Refrigerant detector connector is loose or damaged
- Detector has failed or is not responding

Homeowner fix
Turn the system off with the remote and do not bypass or unplug the detector. Ventilate if you suspect a leak, keep ignition sources away, and call for service.
When to call a pro
Call a licensed HVAC technician if Fd returns after one safe reset or the condition will not clear. Tell them the official source lists Fd as Communication of the refrigerant sensor is abnormal.
