What it means
The manual says: Fault, overload, inverter.
Part involved: Fault, overload, inverter.
When it shows: System characteristics:; Output demand to heat pump not possible; Compressor not available.
Likely causes:
- Increased inverter power consumption has exceeded the max. permissible duration.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Partly |
|---|---|
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.
Resetting itself: Not stated per code in Viessmann document 6199893 GB 01/2026 (VSA00009).
Manual reset: User may acknowledge via HMI after noting the code (6249162 p.57); the message returns if the cause persists.
What you can check
- On the HMI, tap the message and "?" to read the system characteristics and Viessmann's user tips; note the code (e.g. F.xxx) and text for your contractor (operating instructions 6249162 p.57).
- Acknowledge the message once via the HMI; do not acknowledge fault messages several times in quick succession (6249162 p.58) - notify your contractor.
- Check the heat pump breaker/isolator in the consumer unit is ON (do not repeatedly reset a breaker or RCD that keeps tripping).
What the engineer will check
- Check all cables connected to the compressor:.
- Check wires and plugs for correct seating.
- Check connections for contact corrosion.
- Check cables for mechanical damage, e.g. crushing, kinking, chafing or breakage. Replace cable if necessary.
- Have the parameters of the compressor checked by the manufacturer's technical support.
- Isolate the outdoor unit from the power supply. Wait at least 2 min. Switch on voltage again.
- Replace inverter.
Who to ask for: Viessmann-trained heat pump engineer / qualified electrician.
Certification: Qualified electrician for work on electrical equipment (Viessmann safety instructions).
