Heat pump

What it means

Compressor failure alarm. This alarm code appears when the following alarms 02, 07, 08, 45, 47 occur three times within 6 hours.

Likely causes

  1. Repeated occurrence of alarms 02, 07, 08, 45, 47 within 6 hours
  2. Long periods of pump/valve inactivity leading to component sticking or seizure

Where to start

  1. Check which compressor icon(s) are active to determine which refrigerant circuit compressor is currently running (S80 units)
  2. For S80, confirm whether R410A (1) or R-134a (2) compressor circuit is enabled
  3. Check Seizure Protection status and configured Operation Day/Starting Time to verify anti-seizure pump run schedule

Safety: Isolate the outdoor unit and any backup heater, and give the inverter capacitors time to discharge before you open the electrics. Anything on the refrigerant circuit needs F-gas certification.
