Grant Aerona R290 fault P12
DC fan 2 failure
Heat pumpWhat it means
DC fan 2 failure due to fan fault/obstruction or faulty refrigerant PCB (or drive PCB on 16kW models).
Likely causes
- The fan is faulty or stuck
- The refrigerant PCB is faulty (or drive PCB on 16 kW models)
Where to start
- Check whether the fan is stuck or obstructed
- Check refrigerant PCB (or drive PCB on 16 kW models)
- Set up barrier at least 1m around heat pump restricting access to authorised personnel only

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.
