First check

1 Let it cool, then read the drive LED

On Rheem RA19AY overcurrent / overheat is often a dirty coil, a failed OD fan, or a locked compressor — not a dead inverter. Clear airflow, confirm the OD fan, and read the drive LED before you order a control. ABCD landing and polarity, outdoor board power, inverter comms harness.

Expect: OD fan running. Coil clean. Drive LED decoded from THIS outdoor’s card.

The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.

On the plates

  • ABCD landing and polarity, outdoor board power, inverter comms harness.
  • C still required at the wall control.
  • Indoor must be Infinity-capable. A 24ACC6-style indoor pairing is the wrong mental model.
