Hi All,
I have two Simon-Aire model SSK818H-TP's that were installed about 5 years ago. Last year, the condenser fan blades broke in both units around the same time, so I had them replaced. Since the blades were replaced, in cool mode, the compressors in both units will kick on for a few minutes and then shut off with an E1 Error Code. This indicates the freeze protection mode is activated. The guys who installed the new blades just kept explaining what the freeze protector does, but it happens at any temperature outside (50s-90s). The guys who originally installed the units said i'd need to replace the freeze protection sensor but that it would take 12 weeks for the part to arrive...
I tested the protector for continuity and it seems okay, so i'm wondering now: 1) Is that really the issue 2) can i just unplug the sensor from the control board and 3) is there any other solution than waiting 12 weeks for the spare part.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
James
