Infinity Air Purifier Filter (MERV 15)
The 'System Malfunction' alert is most frequently triggered by Code 33 (Limit Fault). This occurs when a dirty or high-static filter restricts airflow, causing the heat exchanger to overheat and trip the safety limit. Replacing the high-efficiency filter restores proper CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) and clears the thermal lockout.

Shielded 18/4 Thermostat Wire
Carrier Infinity systems use a digital communicating bus (ABCD terminals). Standard non-shielded solid-core wire is susceptible to EMI/RFI interference, which triggers Fault Code 178 (Indoor Communication Error). Installing twisted shielded wiring ensures data integrity between the UI and the control board, preventing intermittent system drops.

Primary High Limit Switch
If the system continues to report a malfunction after filter replacement, the primary limit switch may have 'softened' or failed in the open position due to repeated thermal cycling. This component monitors the plenum temperature; a mechanical failure here creates a permanent open circuit that the thermostat interprets as a critical system malfunction.
