Thermo King alarm codes

Alarm codes

Look up the code on your unit's display to see what it means and what the operator should do. The actions are suggestions only: always consult your company for final decisions. Not every code is possible on every unit.

Thermo King of the Southeast (TKSE) lists alarm codes by unit type. The code shows on the unit's controller display. Write down every alarm to help the technician. A code shown in parentheses may appear with code 84 and clear on its own.

Need it fixed? See reefer repair, or call for a mobile service truck.
