OU-95 on a Fujitsu WATERSTAGE split: Detection of compressor position error / compressor start-up error (permanent stoppage)
Short answer
On a Fujitsu heat pump, OU-95 means: Detection of compressor position error / compressor start-up error (permanent stoppage). The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means
The manual says: Detection of compressor position error / compressor start-up error (permanent stoppage).
Part involved: outdoor unit PCB/refrigerant circuit.
Likely causes:
- Misconnection of electrical components; main PCB failure; compressor failure.
Is it safe?
Switch the heat pump off at its isolator and call an engineer.
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — needs a manual reset once the cause is fixed |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: no.
Manual reset: engineer (power cycle / clear on outdoor PCB).
What you can check
- Note the error number shown after pressing the Info (i) key on the Waterstage user interface. Check the heat pump breakers/isolators are on. The hydraulic unit shows error 370; the specific code is shown by LED flashes on the hydraulic interface PCB / outdoor PCB, which only an engineer should access.
What the engineer will check
- Per SHP maintenance manual 'Clear' procedure: Misconnection of electrical components; main PCB failure; compressor failure. Access outdoor PCB (ERROR LED, press ENTER to read flash count), check connectors, sensor resistances, supply voltage (198-264 V AC 1ph), serial signal (AC 70-130 V between terminals), valves/EEV, refrigerant charge (F-gas), fan motor, compressor windings, IPM/PFC boards.
Who to ask for: Heat pump / refrigeration engineer (manufacturer-trained).
Certification: F-gas certification for refrigerant-circuit work; electrical competence (Part P/18th Edition) for PCB/wiring.
