- System temperature sensor defective.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | No |
|---|---|
| Severity | Warning |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump keeps running.
Resetting itself: clears when condition resolved / engineer resets.
Manual reset: engineer resets (Installer level > Reset > Reset maintenance message).
What you can check
- Note the full code and text shown on the display (and the date/time it appeared). 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 plug contact on PCB and harness; check sensor; replace if required.
Who to ask for: Vaillant-trained heat pump installer/engineer (MCS-certified installer).
Certification: MCS installer certification; Vaillant product training recommended.
