When it shows: Minor inverter fault: Inverter fault limit has been achieved and inverter was interlocked.
Likely causes:
- Inverter fault.
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 - heat pump restarts after idle time (~10-12 min); locks out after 5 faults in 2 h run.
Manual reset: after 5 faults in 2 h: IWS/WPM reset.
What you can check
- Read and note the full message code and time from the WPM display (DIAGNOSIS / NOTIFICATIONLIST if accessible without a code).
- Check the heat pump and controller circuit breakers/isolators at the consumer unit are on.
What the engineer will check
- Inverter fault.
Who to ask for: Heat pump service engineer (electrical/controls).
