E137 on a CTC control system alarm/information platform: Sensor alarm - differential thermostat sensor (B46): sensor not connected, short-circuited or value outside the sensor range. If the sensor is important to operation the compressor stops
Short answer
On a CTC heat pump, E137 means: Sensor alarm - differential thermostat sensor (B46): sensor not connected, short-circuited or value outside the sensor range. If the sensor is important to operation the compressor stops. The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means
The manual says: Sensor alarm - differential thermostat sensor (B46): sensor not connected, short-circuited or value outside the sensor range. If the sensor is important to operation the compressor stops.
Part involved: differential thermostat sensor (B46).
Likely causes:
- Sensor not connected.
- Sensor short-circuited.
- Sensor value outside its range.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Partly |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — clears by itself when the condition goes |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.
Resetting itself: Resets automatically after correction for this sensor (listed in manual).
Manual reset: Reset alarm on the display after the fault is rectified.
What you can check
- Note the alarm code/text, the product model and serial number and contact your installer.
What the engineer will check
- Check sensor wiring and connections at the control board.
- Measure sensor resistance against the NTC table in the manual and replace if faulty.
Who to ask for: heat pump controls / electrical.
Certification: Electrical competence for work inside the control panel.
