Midea M-Thermal Arctic HT R290 Mono fault BA
T4 sensor out of operation range protection
Heat pumpWhat it means
T4 sensor detected temperature outside of normal operation range. In heating/DHW mode, the error occurs when T4≥65℃ or T4<-25℃. In cooling mode, the error occurs when T4≥65℃ or T4<-5℃.
Likely causes
- T4 sensor reading out of range
- T4 sensor fault
- Feedback signal cable CN17 not connected properly
- Loose, misconnected, broken or moisturized sensor connection
- Sensor short-circuit (resistance < 0.5 kΩ)
- Sensor failure (resistance > 380 kΩ)
- Resistance inconsistent with resistance characteristics table
- Sensor probe dislodged from installation position
- Main Control PCB failure
- Pump stalling due to impeller obstruction
Where to start
- Check CN17 connector for proper seating
- Step 1: Check if temperature sensor connection on Main Control PCB is loose, misconnected, broken or moisturized. If yes, reconnect the temperature sensor correctly and keep it dry.
- Step 2: If connection is fine, pull out the temperature sensor and measure sensor resistance. If resistance is too low (<0.5 kΩ), sensor has short-circuited. If resistance is too high (>380 kΩ), sensor has failed. Compare to the resistance characteristics table in Part 4 Appendix; if inconsistent, sensor has failed. Replace the sensor if so.

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.
