What it means
The manual says: Inv. lost contact with the mains: The inverter has lost contact with the mains network.
Part involved: Inv. lost contact with the mains.
When it shows: The inverter has lost contact with the mains network.
Likely causes:
- Check the connection and fuses.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | No |
|---|---|
| Severity | Information only |
| Engineer needed? | No |
The heat pump keeps running.
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). Heavy simultaneous electrical loads (e.g. oven, shower, EV charger) can trigger load/voltage alarms - note what was running. This is an information message; it resets automatically when the cause is removed.
What the engineer will check
- Per manual 'May be due to': Check the connection and fuses. 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.
