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.
- Check the controller display is lit; a single power cycle at the isolator may be tried only if your installer or manual allows it.
What the engineer will check
- Follow the manufacturer's troubleshooting flowchart for this code.
- Check sensor connector and wiring.
- Measure sensor resistance against the manual's sensor table.
- Replace sensor or PCB as indicated by the troubleshooting flowchart.
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.
