What it means
The manual says: The communication with the frequency inverter has been interrupted.
Part involved: The communication with the frequency inverter has been interrupted.
Likely causes:
- Missing communication between the frequency converter and the outdoor unit's control PCB.
- Glow-worm trade page: Frequency convertor (invertor board) not recognised/connection fault Fault in the wiring harness or connector to the invertor PCB, fault in the wiring harness or connector to the compressor, fault in the invertor PCB.
Is it safe?
| 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 - the fault remains displayed until the cause is eliminated.
Manual reset: yes - after the cause is eliminated, press the reset button (indoor unit) or reset via the system control; if it recurs after several resets contact customer service.
What you can check
- Note the full code and text shown on the display (and the date/time it appeared). Check the heat pump supply breaker/isolator (and back-up heater breaker, if separate) at the consumer unit is on; if a breaker has tripped more than once, leave it off and call an engineer - do not open any casing. Glow-worm's MiPro Sense operating instructions say always contact your competent person in the event of a fault message; until they arrive you may select a limp-home (back-up heater) setting on the control, which is expensive to run.
What the engineer will check
- Check the integrity of the wiring harness and plug connection and, if required, replace them. 2. Check the frequency converter by actuating the compressor safety relay. 3. Read the assigned parameters for the frequency converter and check whether values are displayed.
Who to ask for: Heat pump engineer with electrical competence (qualified electrician for supply/phase faults).
Certification: Competent electrician (BS 7671 / Part P) for supply-side work.
