Which Lennox units show cF

This page applies to Lennox MPA / MPB / MLA single-zone, MPA / MPB / MLA multi-zone, MCB / MWCB, MWMA / MWMB, MCFA / MCFB and MMDA / MMDB units on the MCB / MWCB indoor unit display. Lennox's own documentation lists cF as "Anti-cold-air (heating warm-up)", the same definition used across the Midea platform (four-character codes) it is built on. If your unit shows a code with a different shape (for example a four-character code, or a plain number), it is from a different table; use the lookup with your exact code.

Where Lennox shows this code

MCB / MWCB indoor unit display: The display shows a two-letter prefix and a two-character suffix, either together (EH60) or alternating (EH, then 60). Write both parts down; the suffix is what identifies the fault. EH and EL are indoor-side faults, EC is an outdoor-side fault, and PC is an outdoor protection: the unit stopped itself to prevent damage.
