Homeowner? What Goodman code CoreSense solid red means for you

Call a technician Your heat pump is reporting: Solid red TRIP - call present but compressor not running. The heat pump 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.
In winter, keep snow and ice off and away from the outdoor unit. A short defrost cycle with steam is normal.
Try one reset: turn the power off for 30 seconds, then back on. If the code comes back, stop resetting and call a technician.
