Midea Heat pump fault HB
Repeated PP protection in heating/DHW mode
Heat pumpWhat it means
Triggered when PP fault occurs 3 times in heating/DHW mode. If Twout<7°C occurs during this period, the number of PP failures counted increases by one, accelerating the trigger of Hb.
Likely causes
- Repeated occurrence of PP fault (abnormal temperature difference between outlet and inlet water) in heating/DHW mode
- Twout dropping below 7°C increases PP failure count
- Low ambient temperature (T4<3°C) combined with low water-side temperature triggers freeze protection
- Water side temperature dropping below critical thresholds due to low flow, low ambient temperature, or system stoppage
Where to start
- Identify CN30 terminal block pins 1-10 (A, B, X/HA, Y/HB, E, T1, T2, E1, H1, H2)
- Confirm correct wiring of A, B, X/HA, Y/HB, E to external Modbus module terminals X1/HB, X2/HA, H1, H2
- Verify B-/A+/E connections to Modbus interface

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.
