Question:

What does the compressor high voltage error mean on my air conditioner?

Answer:

The compressor high voltage error (Error Code 86E or 86C) indicates that an overvoltage issue has been detected within your air conditioner's system. This means that the voltage supplied to the unit is higher than its recommended range (above 155V). To resolve this problem, check the voltage supply and ensure it falls within the specified limits for your AC model. Consult a qualified technician if needed.
