452 on a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioning Europe Hydrolution: Temp. high curr load cmpr: The current out from the inverter to the compressor has been too high
Short answer
On a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioning Europe heat pump, 452 means: Temp. high curr load cmpr: The current out from the inverter to the compressor has been too high. 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: Temp. high curr load cmpr: The current out from the inverter to the compressor has been too high.
Part involved: Temp. high curr load cmpr.
When it shows: The current out from the inverter to the compressor has been too high.
Likely causes:
- Disruption in supply voltage; poor heating medium flow; defective compressor.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — clears by itself when the condition goes |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: yes.
Manual reset: no.
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). This is an information message; it resets automatically when the cause is removed.
What the engineer will check
- Per manual 'May be due to': Disruption in supply voltage; poor heating medium flow; defective compressor. Check sensor wiring/resistance, settings, flow (particle filter, pump) and supply as applicable.
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.
