Hi
I can only say try it may work.
A solution:

• Unplug
• Hold down "*" & "enter/ menu buttons"
• While holding down both buttons, turn power on
• Wait until something like "initialize" shows up on the display
• Let go of buttons
• Wait until display reads "ready"
• Unplug for 10 seconds, then plug back in
• Please let me know if works for you.

Hi I am sure this model number is correct and it is a 3 Ton unit.Normally when the breaker trips as soon as you reset it, the compressor is compromised. Happened to me yesterday on a 5 ton heat-pump. When this happens, what you can do if you are a handy type of man, is to prove this. I don't know if the is is a split system or a all in one package unit, doesn't matter. Get to the compressor compartment. Of course the power will be off.If you can see the run capacitor, take a screw driver and short across the terminals to discharge it, as it could have a small amount of juice in it, I doubt it. Anyway, remove the plastic cover to expose the terminals. They can be hard to remove sometimes, just use a screw driver to push the clips in. Wire colors should be black for common, yellow for start, and blue for run. Write down the order they were in. To be safe, tape the metal connectors so they wont touch metal when you turn the power back on. After you have done this, turn everything back on. If the breaker holds and everything else is on, fan and so on, this proves the compressor is probably shorted to ground. If this a/c is rather new, I would replace the compressor. If it is old, I would think about getting prices on a new unit. Just food for thought. Please let me know on the out come of this test, please. When a compressor shorts out, or locks up, it draws what is called locked rotor amps/LRA which could be from 49 on up, and your breaker can be 25, 30, 35 to 40 amps so it will trip. Keep me posted and do this test, it is very easy to do.
Sincerely,

SOURCE: I have an error code

I am experiencing the same error code on my American Standard AC and according to Public. #18-HD32D2-8, error code 126 is in the Equipment Change Alert Group and the description says "Equipment does not match value stored at startup." Then, in a footnote, it says "A device has changed since Auto Discovery (See Installer Guide *S& 0706 to reset)."

This is all Greek to me so I'm calling my AC guy. I can tell you this, however. I bought an American Standard AC brand new just two years ago and one year ago exactly, it blew up. American Standard replaced it. Now, one year later, more problems.

I question the quality of American Standard and would not be inclined to buy this brand again.

My computer did boot up to the desktop, but was completely unresponsive from there when trying to open anything. I ran a system diagnostics and got this error with the status byte of 70. I rebooted into Safe Mode and was then able to open files. I backed up my stuff to a flash drive and then ran Error-Checking in the HD Properties which runs the CHKDSK function the next time the computer is rebooted. That found 2 bad file clusters and repaired them. One was a file called Windows.edb, which does the hard drive search indexing for Windows and was most likely my problem with the lockups. The other was a Napinsp.dll file. After these were fixed and the computer was rebooted, everything worked normally.
This HD is only 9 months old, but if this happens again, I'll replace it again.
