Midea Heat pump fault C2
IBH (internal backup heater) related fault
Heat pumpWhat it means
C2 error occurs on units fitted with IBH (internal backup heater). The fault is associated with the IBH PCB and requires confirmation of repair before restoring the code.
Likely causes
- IBH PCB fault
- Abnormal system state detected
Where to start
- Navigate wired controller operation parameter menu to review live values #00 1 through #00 61
- Note that unavailable parameters for the given configuration will not display
- Follow C2 troubleshooting guide in Part 4 Diagnosis and Troubleshooting

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 Midea manual for the Heat pump. Check the model on the data plate before you order parts.
