What it means

The manual says: AC current protection (input side).

Part involved: compressor, inverter/driver PCB, power supply.

Is it safe?

Switch the heat pump off at its isolator and call an engineer.

Does the heat pump stop?Yes
Engineer needed?Yes

The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.

Resetting itself: unknown.

What you can check

  • Note the code shown on the controller and the unit model numbers (on the rating plate label) before contacting your installer.
  • Check the heat pump's breaker/isolator at the consumer unit is on; do not open any casing.
  • If the breaker or RCD trips repeatedly, leave the heat pump switched off and call an engineer; do not keep resetting it.

What the engineer will check

  • Follow the Gree troubleshooting flowchart for this code in the service manual.
  • Check supply voltage and phase balance.
  • Check compressor windings and inverter/driver PCB per flowchart.
  • Check heat-sink cooling and connections.

Who to ask for: Heat pump engineer.

Certification: Heat pump installer competence; F-gas / flammable-refrigerant (R290/R32) handling competence for any refrigerant-circuit work.
