What you can check
- Read the full error code and sub-code shown on the user interface (Malfunctioning screen; press the help button for Daikin's long description) and note it, with the date/time, for your installer.
- Daikin documents this code as resetting automatically once the condition clears; if it keeps coming back, contact your installer.
- Do NOT bleed radiators while an error/malfunction symbol is displayed: Daikin operation manuals warn refrigerant may have leaked into the water circuit - ventilate and call your installer.
- If heating/hot water has stopped, the operation manual lets the user confirm on the Malfunctioning screen whether the backup/booster heater may take over as emergency heating (much higher running cost) until the installer attends.
What the engineer will check
- See Daikin service manual for this generation (not public).
Who to ask for: Heat pump engineer (Daikin-trained).
Certification: Electrical competence to BS 7671 for sensor/PCB wiring; F-gas if a refrigerant-side sensor must be replaced.
