I have Fault code F28 / High Pressure / !high pressure fault on my heat pump (WPM or Touch screen based). What does this mean?

Modified on Wed, 12 Jul, 2023 at 10:09 AM

Fault code F28 / High Pressure fault means that the heat pump controller is detecting high refrigerant pressure (not water pressure) and is stopping operation to protect itself. 



• Check that any isolation valves on the water pipes on the rear of the heat pump or around the hot water cylinder have not been closed by accident.

 

• Bleed any air out of the radiators or heating circuit where possible, If you can hear gurgling or wooshing water noises when the circulation pumps run, there is likely to be air trapped in the pipework which will slow the flow of water around the property. This may require installer to reattend.


• If you know where the heating circuit filling loop is located and the pressure gauge for your heating circuit, check the pressure of the water in the heating circuit. It should be around 1.0 to 1.5 Bar typically. It can be topped up by slowly opening the filling loop whilst watching the pressure gauge, then closing the filling valve once the pressure reads just over 1.0 Bar. If the system pressure keeps dropping, there could be a leak in the pipework which needs to be investigated by your installer or a service engineer.


• Try lowering the heating water temperature by pressing the - button to lower the heating curve. On a touch screen control, tap on the House icon on the left hand side of the screen, then tap on "Home" tile and the heating curve can be lowered by a couple of degrees.  


• Power the heat pump off at the mains for 30 mins, then switch back on and see if the issue has been resolved.


• If there is an inline strainer or mag filter, is it clean of any debris.


If the issue is still reoccurring your installer may be required to reattend or service visit may be required. See below link for additional help.
