What it means
The manual says: Discharge temp. error.
Part involved: compressor discharge.
When it shows: Protection stop by discharge temperature 110C during compressor operation, 2 times within 24 h.
Likely causes:
- 1. Service (3-way) valve not opened 2. EEV defective/strainer clogged 3. Outdoor unit operation failure, foreign matter on heat exchanger 4. Discharge thermistor failure 5. Insufficient refrigerant.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — needs a manual reset once the cause is fixed |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
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. Check the outdoor unit is not blocked by snow, ice, leaves or stored items and that air can flow freely around it.
What the engineer will check
- Check service valves open; check EEV and strainers; check outdoor fan/HX; check discharge thermistor; leak test and check refrigerant charge.
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.
