U8-24 on a Daikin Altherma 4 H: Display PCB in back port mode

What it means

The manual says: Display PCB in back port mode.

Part involved: user interface / room thermostat.

Is it safe?

The heat pump keeps running.

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.
• Check any room thermostat/controller display is lit and its batteries (if battery-powered) are not flat; check thermostat and schedule settings.
• 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 installer (Daikin-trained).

Certification: None specific; MCS-certified installer recommended.

What you might notice

• Controller / thermostat problem
• No heating
