What it means

Main PCB detects that EEPROM is abnormal.

Likely causes

  1. Faulty main PCB
  2. Faulty or disturbance of the power supply (power supply MUST be within range of nominal operating voltage ±4%)
  3. Power drop
  4. Short circuit
  5. Faulty outdoor unit fan motor
  6. Faulty compressor or miswiring of the compressor power supply cable
  7. Faulty room thermistor
  8. Main PCB software fault
  9. Main PCB failure
  10. Deviation of thermistor (higher temperature measured than actual)

Where to start

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.
