Tempstar air conditioner showing code 73 on the Tempstar CSA6 / Observer-communicating outdoor unit? The control senses compressor voltage when there is no demand for compressor operation, suggesting the contactor is stuck closed or a wiring error. From the official CSA6 manual. Here is what it means, what you can safely check, and when to call a licensed CANRO technician in an urgent situation across Metro Vancouver.
What not to touch: beyond these checks, do not open the unit or touch the gas valve, wiring, control board or refrigerant lines. In BC, gas and HVAC repairs must be done by a licensed technician — both for your safety and to keep your manufacturer warranty valid.
