What it means

The manual says: Water temperature too low during defrost function.

Part involved: water circuit frost protection.

Likely causes:

  • CH flow too low; check system flow.

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Partly
SeverityFault — clears by itself when the condition goes
Engineer needed?Yes

The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.

Resetting itself: unknown.

What you can check

  • Note the code shown on the controller and the model number on the unit's rating label before contacting your installer.
  • Check that the heat pump's isolator and consumer-unit breaker are on; do not open any casing.
  • Check the heating system pressure gauge reads within the range your installer set (typically 1-2 bar) and that the filling loop is closed.

What the engineer will check

  • Check water flow and outlet water temperature sensor.
  • Check antifreeze heaters and defrost operation.
  • Check system water volume.

Who to ask for: Heat pump engineer.

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