What Does Lennox Error Code 3 Mean?
Lennox error code 3 indicates that the pressure switch is stuck open. This switch is a safety component that monitors the system's pressure and prevents it from operating if there's a refrigerant leak. When it's stuck open, it's as if the system thinks there's a leak, even if there isn't. This can cause your system to lock out and not operate properly. This issue is typically caused by a faulty pressure switch or a problem with the system's pressure, such as a clogged filter or a refrigerant leak.
Common Causes of Lennox Code 3
- Faulty pressure switch
- Clogged air filter
- Refrigerant leak
- Blocked condensate drain line
