E34 on a Haier Super Aqua R290 Hydro Split / Hydro All-in-One: Compressor Discharge Temperature Over High Protection (Td)

Short answer

On a Haier heat pump, E34 means: Compressor Discharge Temperature Over High Protection (Td). The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means

The manual says: Compressor Discharge Temperature Over High Protection (Td).

Part involved: compressor, pressure switch/sensor, expansion valve, refrigerant charge.

When it shows: Td≥115°C is faulty, and Td≤85°C fault is resolved. If it occurs 3 times in an hour, confirm the failure.

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Yes
SeveritySafety lockout
Engineer needed?Yes

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

Resetting itself: yes (until locked).

Manual reset: Locks out after repeated occurrences (see manual remark); engineer reset after the cause is fixed.

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 outdoor unit is not blocked by leaves, debris, snow or ice and that nothing is stored against the grilles.

What the engineer will check

  • Follow the manufacturer's troubleshooting flowchart for this code.
  • 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.
