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). 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 plug contact on PCB and harness; replace the display.
Who to ask for: Heat pump/controls installer familiar with Vaillant eBUS controls.
Certification: MCS installer certification; Vaillant product training recommended.
