Friedrich error codes

Friedrich displays an alphanumeric code on the indoor unit, and the 32 codes below cover the Floating Air Pro X, Pro and Select lines, which share a diagnostic scheme. E- codes are generally sensor or communication faults and F- and P- codes are protective shutdowns - the latter usually mean the system stopped itself rather than broke.

Unit applicability

Match your unit before reading the table

This table is sourced for Floating Air Pro. If your unit is a different generation or product line not named here, the same display code may vary by generation.

Common codes first

Most broadly applicable documented codes

Ranking basis: we do not have failure-frequency telemetry. These are ordered by breadth of affected systems in the SplitAtlas catalog - the documented product line's published model count, whether the same code appears on more than one product line, and any manual applicability notes we hold. This is a breadth ranking, not a popularity claim.
