What it means

The manual says: Module protection (shown with L0).

Likely causes:

  • Check system pressure.
  • compressor phase resistance.
  • U-V-W sequence inverter-compressor.
  • L1-L2-L3 connection inverter-filter board.
  • inverter board.

Is it safe?

Switch the heat pump off at its isolator and call an engineer.

Does the heat pump stop?Not stated
Engineer needed?Yes

The manual does not say whether the heat pump stops.

What you can check

  • Read and note the exact code shown on the controller display.
  • Check the heat pump's breaker/isolator at the consumer unit is on.
  • If the breaker has tripped or trips again, leave the unit off and call an engineer; do not keep resetting it.

What the engineer will check

  • Check system pressure.
  • compressor phase resistance.
  • U-V-W sequence inverter-compressor.
  • L1-L2-L3 connection inverter-filter board.
  • inverter board.
