Gree Air Conditioner E6 Error Code

Indoor and outdoor units can't communicate on Gree air conditioners.

Moderate DIY

The indoor and outdoor units lost their data link. GREE puts wiring at the top of the list: the wrong cable type, a splice in the communication wire, or wires crossed between the units. A miswired add-on in the circuit, like a condensate pump, float switch or disconnect, can also break the signal. GREE warns against assuming a bad board until the wiring has been checked.

Compatible models

GREE's E6 guide is written for its single-zone and multi-zone mini-splits and also mentions service tools for MultiPRO and FLEXX R32 systems. Board voltages differ between 115V and 230V models.

Also shown as

GREE says that if E6 shows the moment the system powers up, the problem is more likely on the indoor side. If it shows 3 to 4 minutes after power-on, look at the outdoor side.

Safety first: unplug the air conditioner (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Gree E6

Time the code
After the 10-minute reset, watch how long it takes for E6 to come back. Right at power-up or 3 to 4 minutes in tells the technician which unit to start with.
Mention any recent changes
If a condensate pump, float switch or new disconnect was added, or the system was just installed, tell the installer. GREE says a wrong wire or a splice causes this code more often than a failed part.

When to call a technician

If E6 returns, call a GREE dealer or HVAC technician. Checking the communication circuit means measuring voltages at the terminals with the power on.
