What it means
Fy means gas leakage protection. In plain English, the unit or detector is reporting refrigerant leakage or gas leakage protection.
Urgency
Likely causes
- Refrigerant leak at the indoor unit, outdoor unit, or line set
- Refrigerant detector has sensed leaked refrigerant

Homeowner fix
Stop heating/cooling use. Ventilate if you suspect a leak, keep flames and ignition sources away, and do not bypass detectors or keep resetting the unit.
When to call a pro
Call a licensed HVAC technician if Fy returns after one safe reset or the condition will not clear. Tell them the official source lists Fy as Gas leakage protection.

Refrigerant and pressure problems are often repairable, but repeated leaks, inaccessible line-set damage, or compressor damage can make replacement worth comparing on older equipment.
