Default Air Conditioner HHH Error Code on a MarineAire

Hello,

Does anyone know the common causes and solutions to get the error code HHH to go away?

So far I have checked the following:
- Sea Strainer cleaned
- Water flow confirmed
- Coils cleaned
- Fan free spinning
- Motor warm (hot) to touch when operating for a period of time

What other things are there to check?

Thank you in advance for any additional things to check.

Typically this is an issue with the water flow rate being marginal.

An HHH error code on a marine air conditioner typically means High Head Pressure (or High Pressure Fault), which happens when the system gets too hot and cannot release heat properly.

Common Causes:

Low Seawater Flow: The most frequent cause is a lack of raw water cooling the system. Check that your thru-hull sea cock is fully open, the sea strainer is clean and free of debris, and the raw water pump is running.

Clogged Air Filter: Restricted airflow across the cabin air filter can strain the unit and cause high-pressure faults.

Failed Sensor or Trigger: A faulty pressure switch, bad sensor, or a failing pump relay/trigger box can falsely trigger the code or prevent the cooling pump from activating.Refrigerant

Overpressure: Less commonly, an overcharged refrigerant system can cause high pressure, usually only occurring if it was recently serviced.

My Marine Airrr system calls an error code occasionally when the water tubes get clogged. I run mine 24x7 so this happens to me once a year. I have to flush it with a hose to clear mud.

I dont recall the error code it reports when this happens.
