265 on a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioning Europe Hydrolution: Inv. err.: Continuous deviation on power transistor for 15 minutes
Short answer
On a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioning Europe heat pump, 265 means: Inv. err.: Continuous deviation on power transistor for 15 minutes. 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: Inv. err.: Continuous deviation on power transistor for 15 minutes.
Part involved: Inv. err.
When it shows: Continuous deviation on power transistor for 15 minutes.
Likely causes:
- Defective fan motor; defective circuit board in FDCW.
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.
Resetting itself: no.
Manual reset: yes (select 'reset alarm' in the alarm menu).
What you can check
- Note the alarm number/text shown on the display. Check the consumer-unit breakers/isolators for the indoor and outdoor units are on. Check the outdoor unit is not blocked by leaves, snow or ice and its drain is clear (look only - do not open the casing). On the RC-HY controller you may select 'reset alarm' once (installation manual: 'in most cases it is enough'); if the red lamp stays or the alarm returns, select 'aid mode' (if enabled) or 'add. heat only' in menu 4.2 and contact the installer.
What the engineer will check
- Per manual 'May be due to': Defective fan motor; defective circuit board in FDCW. Refrigerant/outdoor-unit work (service valves, charge, sensors Tho-R/A/D/S, LPT, 63H1, fan motor, inverter/control PCBs) must be done by an F-gas certified engineer.
Who to ask for: Heat pump / refrigeration engineer (manufacturer-trained).
Certification: F-gas certification for refrigerant-circuit work; electrical competence (Part P/18th Edition) for PCB/wiring.
