Quietside QSVSIO-12A Heat Pump Troubleshooting

Possible malfunctionItems to be checked
The unit may drop, shake or emit noise.Has the unit been installed firmly?
It may cause insufficient cooling (heating) capacity.Have you done the refrigerant leakage test?
It may cause condensation and water dripping.Is heat insulation of pipeline sufficient?
It may cause condensation and water dripping.Is water drained well?
It may cause malfunction or damage the parts.Is the voltage of power supply according to the voltage marked on the nameplate?
It may cause malfunction or damage the parts.Is electric wiring and pipeline installed correctly?
It may cause electric leakage.Is the unit grounded securely?
It may cause malfunction or damage the parts.Does the power cord follow the specification?
It may cause insufficient cooling (heating).Is there any obstruction in air inlet and air outlet?
It may cause malfunction or damaging the parts.The dust and sundries caused during installation are removed?
It may cause insufficient cooling (heating) capacity.The gas valve and liquid valve of connection pipe are open completely?

Quietside QS12-VP115 Heat Pump Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible causeSolution
Hot water is not coming out.No power supply to the water heaterCheck if there is any power on the power supply terminal on the thermostat.
The thermostat may be set too high and cause the fuse or safety cut-off to operate.Reduce thermostat setting by 5°C and press the reset button.
Heating is not workingHeating element or internal electrical wiring is out of order.Check if there is any power on the power supply on the connector of the heating element between black and yellow/green wires. If this is OK, press the reset button on the fuse/safety cut-off.
Water is not warm enoughThermostat is set too low.Adjust the thermostat up using a standard screwdriver.
Heating element or the internal electrical wiring is partially out of order.Check the resistance of the heating element on the connector of the heater bundle, and the condition of the internal wiring.
UX mixing valve(fitted on top) is incorrectly adjusted.Adjust the UX mixing valve correctly to the preferred temperature.
Safety valve(SV) is dripping.Water expands when heated. If there is no consumption of hot water over a period of time pressure builds up, causing the safety valve to open.If drip from the SV is severe, it might need to be replaced. Some dripping is normal. Alternatively an expansion vessel can be fitted.
Leak warning outlet is dripping.The heating element may not be properly tightened.Check the heating element o-ring seal and all connections.
Other problems, or if none of the above solves the problem.There may be a leak.Contact the installer/supplier regarding any other failure.

FAULTPOSSIBLE CAUSEREMEDY
No water flow from hot taps.1. Mains supply off.1. Check and open stopcock.
2. Strainer blocked.2. Turn off water supply. Remove strainer and clean.
3. Cold water inlet Pressure Reducing Valve incorrectly fitted.3. Check and refit as required
Water from hot taps is cold.1. Immersion heaters not switched on.1. Check and switch on..
2. Immersion heater thermal cut-out has operated.2. Check and reset button.
3. Programmer set to central heating or not switched on.3. Check and set to hot water.

Quietside Heat Pump Troubleshooting

ProblemCause
The OPERATION indication LED(BLUE) blinks when a power plug of the indoor unit is plugged in for the first time.It indicates power is on. The LED stops blinking if the operation ON/OFF button on the remote control unit is pushed.
In a COOL operation mode, the compressor does not operate at a room temperature higher than the setting temperature that the INDOOR FAN should operate. In a HEAT operation mode, the compressor does not operate at a room temperature lower than the setting temperature that indoor fan should operate.In happens after a delay of 3 minutes when the compressor is reoperated. The same phenomenon occurs when a power is on. As a phenomenon that the compressor is reoperated after a delay of 3 minutes, the indoor fan is adjusted automatically with reference to a temperature of the air blew.
Fan speed setting is not allowed in DRY(&) mode.The speed of the indoor fan is set to LL in DRY mode. Fan speed is selected automatically in AUTO mode.
Compressor stops operation intermittently in DRY(C?) mode.Compressor operation is controlled automatically in DRY mode depending on the room temperature and humidity.
Timer LED(ORANGE) of the indoor unit lights up and the air conditioner does not operate.Timer is being activated and the unit is in ready mode.
The unit operates normally if the timer operation is cancelled.
The compressor stops intermittently in a COOL mode or DRY mode, and fan speed of the indoor unit decreases.The compressor stops intermittently or the fan speed of the indoor unit decreases to prevent inside/outside air frozen depending on the inside/outside air temperature.
Compressor of the outdoor unit is operating although it is turned off in a HEAT mode.When the unit is turned off while de-ice is activated, the compressor continues operation for up to 9 minutes(maximum) until the deice is completed.
The compressor and indoor fan stop intermittently in HEAT mode.The compressor and indoor fan stop intermittently if room temperature exceeds a setting temperature in order to protect the compressor from overheated air in a HEAT mode.
Indoor fan and outdoor fan stop operation intermittently in a HEAT mode.The compressor operates in a reverse cycle to remove exterior ice in a HEAT mode, and indoor fan and outdoor fan do not operate intermittently for within 20% of the total heater operation
