What it means

The manual says: Too great a deviation in evaporation temperature average value.

Part involved: evaporation temperature.

Likely causes:

  • Unstable evaporation temperature - not tabulated. (causes from the equivalent Danfoss DHP-AQ service instructions VMGFJ202).

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Yes
Engineer needed?Yes

The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.

Manual reset: Set operating mode OFF then back to the desired mode.

What you can check

  • Note the exact alarm text. Check the outdoor unit is not blocked by snow, ice, leaves or debris and that airflow around it is clear. Acknowledge once (operating mode OFF then back); if it remains, contact a service technician (user manual 086L0130 p.25).

What the engineer will check

  • Check EXV operation, sensors, charge.

Who to ask for: heat pump engineer.

Certification: F-Gas category I certificate (refrigerant circuit work).
