LED-73 on an Ideal Heating Logic Air: Heat-exchange middle temp. sensor error / outdoor unit heat-exchange liquid (outlet) temp. sensor error

Short answer

On an Ideal Heating heat pump, LED-73 means: Heat-exchange middle temp. sensor error / outdoor unit heat-exchange liquid (outlet) temp. sensor error. The manual does not say whether the heat pump stops. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means

The manual says: Heat-exchange middle temp. sensor error / outdoor unit heat-exchange liquid (outlet) temp. sensor error.

Part involved: outdoor HX middle and outlet thermistors.

When it shows: Thermistor short or open detected.

Likely causes:

  • 1. Connector connection failure/open 2. Thermistor failure 3. PCB failure (main PCB).

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Not stated
Engineer needed?Yes

The manual does not say whether the heat pump stops.

What you can check

  • Note the code or fault message shown on the controller/Halo and when it appeared; check the heat pump's isolator and consumer-unit breaker are on.

What the engineer will check

  • Check connector and cable continuity; disconnect thermistor and check characteristic (Service Parts Information 5); check PCB reference voltage Main PCB P1:1-2 and P15:1-2 = 5 V; replace thermistor or PCB.

Who to ask for: Heat pump engineer; casing removal only by persons competent with R32 (A2L); refrigerant-circuit work requires Cat I/II F-gas certification (I&M p.75 warning).

Certification: F-gas Cat I/II for refrigerant work; electrical work by competent person.
