E410 on a Samsung heat pump: COMP down due to Low Pressure Sensor Protection Control
Short answer
On a Samsung heat pump, E410 means: COMP down due to Low Pressure Sensor Protection Control. The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset. An engineer is needed to fix the cause. The wording differs by model range — each is shown below.

What it means
On the EHS Mono R290 (AE***CXYD*K and pump-integrated AE***CXYB*K)
The manual says: COMP down due to Low Pressure Sensor Protection Control.
Part involved: Compressor / refrigerant cycle protection.
When it shows: Unit self-diagnosis: COMP down due to Low Pressure Sensor Protection Control.
Likely causes:
- Compressor stopped by refrigerant-cycle protection (pressure, discharge temperature, overload or compression ratio): e.g. refrigerant under/overcharge, blockage, poor water flow or airflow, sensor fault.
- Engineer checks per Samsung service manual: Check refrigerant leakage/shortage and low pressure sensor.
On the EHS TDM Plus (R410A)
The manual says: Compressor operation stop due to low pressure protection control or refrigerant leakage.
Part involved: Compressor / refrigerant cycle protection.

Is it safe?
On the EHS Mono R290 (AE***CXYD*K and pump-integrated AE***CXYB*K)
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: unknown.
Manual reset: unknown.
On the EHS TDM Plus (R410A)
Switch the heat pump off at its isolator and call an engineer.

| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: unknown.
Manual reset: unknown.
What you can check
- Note the full error code shown on the controller; check the heat pump breaker/isolator in the consumer unit is ON; check the outdoor unit is not blocked by leaves, debris or snow and air can flow freely; check the heating system pressure gauge reading (typically 1-2 bar when cold; do not top up unless you have been shown how); then contact your installer or Samsung service; Samsung manuals do not describe a homeowner reset for this code.
What the engineer will check
On the EHS Mono R290 (AE***CXYD*K and pump-integrated AE***CXYB*K)
- Check refrigerant leakage/shortage and low pressure sensor. Any work inside casings, on PCBs, wiring, sensors, pumps, valves or refrigerant is engineer-only.
Who to ask for: F-gas certified refrigeration/heat pump engineer; R290 (A3 flammable refrigerant) competence.
Certification: F-gas certification (UK F-gas Regulation; e.g. City & Guilds 2079 Cat I); R290/flammable refrigerant handling training (e.g. hydrocarbon refrigerant course).
