| Pump is making noise | There is air in the system. | Purge air. |
| Water pressure at pump inlet is too low. | • Check on the manometer that there is sufficient water pressure. The water pressure must be >0.3 bar (water is cold), »0.3 bar (water is hot). |
| | • Check that the manometer is not broken. |
| | • Check that the expansion vessel is not broken. |
| | • Check that the setting of the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel is correct |
| The water pressure relief valve opens | The expansion vessel is broken. | Replace the expansion vessel. |
| The water volume in the installation is too high. | Make sure that the water volume in the installation is under the maximum allowed value |
| The water pressure relief valve leaks | Dirt is blocking the water pressure relief valve outlet. | Check for correct operation of the pressure relief valve by turning the red knob on the valve counter clockwise: |
| | • If you do not hear a clacking sound, contact your local dealer. |
| | • In case the water keeps running out of the unit, close both the water inlet and outlet shut-off valves first and then contact your local dealer. |

Daikin EGSQH Heat Pump Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|
| You are feeling too cold (hot) in your living room | The desired room temperature is too low (high). | Increase (decrease) the desired room temperature. |
| | If the problem recurs daily, do one of the following: |
| | • Increase (decrease) the room temperature preset value. |
| | • Adjust the room temperature schedule. |
| The desired room temperature cannot be reached. | Increase the desired leaving water temperature in accordance with the heat emitter type. |
| You ran out of domestic hot water because of unusual high consumption. | If you immediately need domestic hot water, activate the DHW tank booster mode. However, this consumes extra energy. |
| | If you can wait, overrule (increase) the active or next scheduled desired temperature so that more hot water will be produced exceptionally. |
| | If the problems recurs daily, do one of the following: |
| | • Increase the DHW tank temperature preset value. |
| | • Adjust the DHW tank temperature schedule. Example: Program to additionally heat up the DHW tank to a preset value (Storage eco = lower tank temperature) during the day. |
| The desired DHW tank temperature is too low. | |
| Heat pump failure | Heat pump is damaged. | • Press GO to view a description of the problem. |
| | • Press again. |
| | • Select OK to allow the backup heater to take over the heat load. |
| | • Call your local dealer to get the heat pump fixed. |

| UNIT DOES NOT START | • Unit may have become unplugged | • Check that plug is plugged securely in wall receptacle. |
| • Fuse may have blown | Note Plug has a test/reset button on it. Make sure that the plug has not tripped. |
| • Circuit breaker may have been tripped | • Replace the fuse. |
| • Unit may be off or in wall thermostat mode. Check section on dipswitch settings to verify dipswitches are set properly. | • Reset circuit breaker. |
| • Unit may be in a protection or diagnostic failure mode. See section on Intelligent Self-checking Control. | • Turn unit on (bottom right button on keypad). |
| | Note: If the unit turns on. the LED will be green. If the unit is off. the LED will be red. If there is no LED on. there is a problem with power or damage to the control. |
| UNIT NOT COOLING/HEATING ROOM | • Unit air discharge section is blocked | • Make sure that curtains, blinds or furniture are not restricting or blocking unit airflow. |
| • Temperature setting is not high or low enough Note: Setpoint limits may not allow the unit to heat or cool the room to the temperature desired. | • Reset to a lower or higher temperature setting. |
| Check section on dipswitch settings. | • Remove and dean filters. |
| • Unit air filters are dirty. | • Allow sufficient amount of time for unit to heat or cool the room. Start heating or cooling early before outdoor temperature, cooking heat or gatherings of people make room uncomfortable. |
| • Room is excessively hot or cold when unit is started. | • Close vent door. |
| • Vent door left open | • Check dipswitch settings for desired comfort. |
| • Unit may be in a protection or diagnostic failure mode. Check section on Intelligent Self-checking Control. | Wait approximately 3 minutes for compressor to start |
| • Compressor is in time delay. There is a protective time delay (approx. 3 minutes) on starting the compressor after a power outage (or restarting after it has been turned off), to prevent tripping of the compressor overload. | |
| DISPLAY HAS STRANGE NUMBERS/CHARACTERS ON IT | | • The unit may be in a diagnostic condition. Check Intelligent Self- checking Control section to determine if unit has had a failure. |
| | • The unit may be set for “C (instead of °F). see the keypad configuration section |
| UNIT MAKING NOISES | | • Clicking, gurgling and whooshing noises are normal during operation of unit. |
| WATER DRIPPING OUTSIDE | | • If a drain kit has not been installed, condensation runoff during very hot and humid weather is normal If a drain kit has been installed and is connected to a drain system, check gaskets and fittings around drain for leaks and plugs. |
| WATER DRIPPING INSIDE | • Wall sleeve is not installed level | • Wall sleeve must be installed level for proper drainage of condensation. Check that installation is level and make any necessary adjustments. |
| ICE OR FROST FORMS ON INDOOR COIL | • Low outdoor temperature | • When outdoor temperature is approximately 55*F (12.8*C) or below, frost may form on the indoor coil when unit is in Cooling mode. Switch unit to FAN operation until ice or frost melts. |
| • Dirty filters | • Remove and clean filters. |
| COMPRESSOR PROTECTION | • Power may have cycled, so compressor is in a restart protection. | • Random Compressor restart - Whenever the unit is plugged in, or power has been restarted, a random compressor restart will occur. After a power outage, the compressor will restart after approximately 3 minutes. |
| | • Compressor Protection - To prevent short cycling of the compressor, there is a random start-up delay of 3 minutes and a minimum compressor run time of 3 minutes. |
