Hi [Customer Name],

Thanks for reaching out! A flashing 88 error code on your MRCOOL system usually means there's a hiccup in the wiring setup—most often from wires 2 and 3 being accidentally swapped between the indoor and outdoor units.

Let’s walk through a few quick steps to get this resolved:

🔍 Step 1: Check the Wiring Alignment

We’ll need your help with a quick photo check. Please send us clear pictures of the wiring connections at the following points:

• 📸 Indoor unit

• 📸 Outdoor unit

• 📸 Breaker

• 📸 Disconnect

These photos will help us verify if anything is out of place.

🧰 Step 2: Look for Damaged or Faulty Wires

If the wiring positions look correct, please inspect the wires for any signs of:

• Fraying

• Cuts or nicks

• Loose or poorly connected terminals

If you find anything questionable, replacing the damaged wires may be necessary.

🔄 Step 3: Power Up and Test

Once you’ve checked and corrected any wiring issues, go ahead and restore power to the system and see if the error clears. If not, just send us those photos and we’ll take a closer look!

Let us know what you find—we’re here to help every step of the way.
