Daikin Altherma fault 89-02
Heat exchanger frozen
Heat pumpWhat it means
Condensing temperature <0°C during space heating, or liquid refrigerant thermistor ≤0°C during space heating or domestic hot water. Unit will stop operating.
Likely causes
- Faulty 4-way valve
- Faulty main PCB
Where to start
- Perform a check of the 4-way valve
- Perform a check of the main PCB

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.
From the Daikin manual for the Altherma. Check the model on the data plate before you order parts.
