Midea R32 M thermal Arctic Mono fault E3

Backup electric heater water outlet temperature sensor error

Heat pump

What it means

E3 indicates a backup electric heater water outlet temperature sensor error. M thermal Mono stops running. Error code is displayed on hydronic system main control board for refrigerant system and user interface.

Likely causes

  1. Temperature sensor not connected properly or has malfunctioned. Damaged hydronic system main PCB.
  2. Faulty sensor T1
  3. Sensor wiring fault
  4. Damaged hydronic system main PCB
  5. Sensor short-circuited
  6. Sensor resistance inconsistent with characteristics table
  7. Pressure sensor failure
  8. High pressure side blockage
  9. Air side heat exchanger, fan or air outlet dirt/blockage
  10. Water side heat exchanger, water piping, circulator pump or water flow switch dirt/blockage

Where to start

  1. Identify sensor type based on fault code
  2. Locate corresponding port on refrigerant system main PCB for that model
  3. Check connection at identified port

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.
