What it means

The leakage sensor and PCB are not communicating normally.

Urgency

Likely causes

1. Loose wiring terminals
2. Damaged wiring harness
3. PCB damage

Homeowner fix

Turn the system off and power cycle once if safe. Do not open the indoor unit, bypass the refrigerant sensor, or touch wiring.

When to call a pro

Call GE Appliances ductless support or a qualified HVAC technician if Ac returns. Tell them the manual lists Ac as leakage sensor communication fault.

Repair vs replace

Sensor communication faults are usually repairable; compare board repair with replacement only on older systems with major additional failures.
