What it means

The manual says: Motor cut-out HTF (heat transfer fluid / brine) pump (MB2) - models C11, E11, E14, E17.

Part involved: brine (HTF) pump motor cut-out MB2.

Likely causes:

  • HTF pump blocked by contamination; faulty HTF pump electric motor; temporary error.

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Yes
SeverityFault — needs a manual reset once the cause is fixed
Engineer needed?Yes

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

Manual reset: Ackn. button on Rego 637 control panel.

What you can check

  • Press the Ackn. button on the control panel once (the manual says there is no risk in resetting an alarm; the heat pump restarts within 15 minutes if heat is needed). If the alarm returns, contact your installer. Look at the brine expansion tank: the fluid level should be visible (user guide check). Do not refill or open the ground-loop circuit yourself - call the installer.

What the engineer will check

  • Loosen the pump venting screw and clear dirt / free the rotor (user guide describes this as a user action - listed here per safety policy); check pump motor; replace pump.

Who to ask for: heat pump engineer.
