Homeowner? What Lennox code E435 means for you

Call a technician Your air conditioner is reporting: Inverter EEPROM checksum fault (inverter code 60). 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.
