P15 on a Technibel S.A.S. Technibel PHRIE / PHIE inverter monobloc air-to-water: Insufficient refrigerant detected (TD >=95 C, EEV at max step, low compressor current for 1 min)
Short answer
On a Technibel S.A.S. heat pump, P15 means: Insufficient refrigerant detected (TD >=95 C, EEV at max step, low compressor current for 1 min). The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means
The manual says: Insufficient refrigerant detected (TD >=95 C, EEV at max step, low compressor current for 1 min).
Likely causes:
- Refrigerant leak.
- EEV fault.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — needs a manual reset once the cause is fixed |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: Manual reset: fault memorised by A2 board; reset by A2 RESET button (5 s), setting system control to OFF, or switching off power (power-off recommended for E15/E16/E20/L02/L08/L09/L10/L13/F29/F31).
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.
What the engineer will check
- Check refrigerant circuit for leaks.
- Check EEV.
Who to ask for: refrigeration / heat pump engineer.
Certification: F-gas certification (refrigerant circuit work) and electrical competence.
