When should I call a technician for code 84C?

The compressor is part of the sealed refrigerant system. It needs a technician. Don't open the sealed refrigerant system, cut or braze lines, or add refrigerant. That needs an EPA-certified technician. Turn power off at the breaker or disconnect before opening any panel, and leave capacitors, compressors and control boards to a pro: they can hold a dangerous charge even with the power off.
