E0F Condensate switch open - high water in drain pan
What the control is telling you

Likely causes

- Faulty or mis-wired float switch
Test and repair steps
- Clear the drain pan, trap and drain line; check slope and venting of the drain.
- Check the float switch and its wiring (normally closed, opens on high water).
- After clearing, confirm the switch closes; the outdoor unit restarts about 30 s later.
