When should I call a technician for code P6?

If P6 returns with a clean filter, call an HVAC 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.
