Homeowner? What Goodman code CoreSense solid red means for you

Call a technician Your air conditioner is reporting: Solid red TRIP - call present but compressor not running. The air conditioner has locked out or cannot run properly. One reset is fine; if the code comes back, it needs a licensed technician to find the cause.

Safe things you can check yourself

Check the thermostat: right mode (Heat or Cool), set a few degrees past room temperature, and fresh batteries if it uses them.
Check both breakers and the outdoor disconnect box beside the outdoor unit; all should be ON.
Look at the air filter. If it is grey and clogged, replace it; a blocked filter causes many shutdowns.
Keep about 2 feet around the outdoor unit clear of leaves, grass and debris.
If you see ice on the pipes or the indoor coil, turn the system off and run only the fan for a few hours, then call a technician.
Try one reset: turn the power off for 30 seconds, then back on. If the code comes back, stop resetting and call a technician.
