What it means
On the R32 Estia 1-Series (split, Wall-Mounted and All-in-One)
The manual says: TL sensor failure.
Part involved: outdoor thermistor/pressure sensor.
When it shows: Open or short circuit in heat exchange sensor TL.
Likely causes:
- TL sensor resistance/connection.
On the Estia (Series 4) Standard & Powerful
The manual says: TL sensor error.
Part involved: outdoor thermistor/pressure sensor.
When it shows: Open/short circuit TL.
Likely causes:
- TL sensor resistance/connection.
On the Estia 5 Series (Standard)
The manual says: TL sensor error.
Part involved: outdoor thermistor/pressure sensor.
When it shows: Open/short circuit TL.
Likely causes:
- TL sensor resistance/connection.
On the Estia 5 Series Powerful (Hi Power / Extreme)
The manual says: TL sensor error.
Part involved: outdoor thermistor/pressure sensor.
When it shows: Trigger thresholds not printed in the IM; see SM.
Likely causes:
- TL sensor resistance/connection.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Partly |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — needs a manual reset once the cause is fixed |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.
Resetting itself: no.
Manual reset: Cause must be fixed by an engineer; hardware faults reappear until repaired.
What you can check
- Note the check code shown on the remote controller and the outdoor/hydro model numbers before contacting an engineer.
- Check the outdoor unit is not blocked by leaves, debris, snow or ice, and that nothing is covering the air inlet/outlet.
What the engineer will check
- Follow manufacturer's check-code flowchart.
- TL sensor resistance/connection.
Who to ask for: F-gas certified heat pump / refrigeration engineer.
Certification: F-gas Category I (refrigerant circuit access may be needed).
