FAULT FINDING & SERVICING
IMPORTANT
•
After servicing, complete the relevant Service Interval Record for the installation.
•
Servicing should only be carried out by competent persons in the installation and maintenance of unvented water heating
systems.
•
Any spare parts used MUST be authorised Mitsubishi Electric parts.
•
Disconnect the electrical supply before removing any electrical equipment covers.
•
NEVER bypass any thermal controls or operate system without the necessary safety valves.
•
Water contained in the Air Source Heat Pump pre-plumbed cylinder may be very hot, especially following a thermal control
failure. Caution must be taken when drawing water from the unit.

1. BACK UP immersion heater not switched on.
2. BACK UP immersion heater thermal cut-out
has operated.
3. Programmer set to Central Heating only.
4. Air Source Heat Pump not working.
5. Thermal cut-out has operated.
6. DHW circulating pump not connected
correctly.
1. INTERMITTENTLY
Expansion vessel charge pressure has reduced
below 3.5bar.
2. CONTINUALLY
a. Cold water combination valve pressure
reducer not working correctly.
b. Expansion valve seat damaged.
1. Thermal control failure. NOTE water will be
very hot.
1. Oxygenated water.
REMEDY
2. Check and open stock cock.
2. Turn off water supply. Remove strainer and clean (see
maintanance section).
3. Check and refit as required.

3. Check. Set to Domestic Hot Water programme.
4. Check heat pump operation. If fault is suspected, consult
heat pump instructions.
5. Check. Reset by pushing button on cut-out. Check
operation of DHW thermal sensor
6. Check wiring and/or plumbing connections to DHW
circulating pump. Check isolating valves are open
1. See Maintance section for re-charging procedure.
2a. Check pressure from cold water combination valve. If
greater than 3.6 bar, replace pressure reducer cartridge.
2b. Remove expansion valve cartridge. Check condition of
seat. If necessary, fit new expansion valve cartridge.
1. Switch off power to immersion heater(s) and /or shut down
Heat Pump. DO NOT turn off water supply. When discharge
