Midea R32 M thermal Arctic Mono fault E7

Balance tank sensor Tbt1 error

Heat pump

What it means

Balance tank sensor Tbt1 error (serial number 8). Displayed on user interface and refrigerant system main PCB.

Likely causes

  1. Sensor Tbt1 disconnected, sensor malfunction, wiring break, PCB connection issue
  2. Temperature sensor not connected properly or has malfunctioned. Damaged hydronic system main PCB.
  3. Sensor Tbt1 fault
  4. Sensor wiring fault
  5. Inverter module damaged
  6. Hydronic box main PCB fault
  7. Damaged cables between hydronic box main PCB and outdoor unit main PCB
  8. Outdoor unit main PCB fault
  9. Incorrect or abnormal input power supply (N or L)

Where to start

  1. Check sensor Tbt1 connection, measure sensor resistance, verify wiring continuity, test sensor response
  2. Identify sensor type based on fault code
  3. Locate corresponding port on refrigerant system main PCB for that model
