Resetting itself: Manual reset.

What you can check

  • Note the code/LED pattern and the model from the rating plate, then contact a heat pump/refrigeration engineer.
  • Check the heat pump's breaker/isolator at the consumer unit is on.
  • Check the heating system pressure gauge reads in the normal range stated by the installer (usually about 1-1.5 bar cold) and that the filling loop is closed.

What the engineer will check

  • See §5.2.

Who to ask for: refrigeration / heat pump engineer.

Certification: Electrical competence for work inside the unit.
