Itho Daalderop Heat Pump Error Code A1 32
With code 32 the injection temperature in the refrigerant circuit falls too far. That fits a very cold source, but also pressure loss in the circuit. Checking the pressures and the sensor is work for an installer with F-gas certification.
Also shown as: A01 32
Applies to: Itho Daalderop WPU 5G and older WPU types with an MFT thermostat (shown there as A01)
Common causes
- The source supplies water that is too cold, so the temperatures in the refrigerant circuit fall too far
- Pressure loss in the refrigerant circuit, for example due to too little refrigerant after a leak
- Sensor T4 reads incorrectly due to a fault and passes on a temperature that is too low
What to check, in order
- Write down the code and also note whether the fault occurs in a cold period with high heat demand.
- Leave the unit switched off until it has cooled down and then try one fresh start.
- If the code returns, call an installer with F-gas certification and quote the code; the circuit pressures and the sensor must be checked.
Clear the code and test
- Fix what the checks above found first — a filter cleaned, a setting corrected, power restored. Clearing the code without fixing the cause only brings it back.
- Make sure the heat pump has power and the controller is set to heating or hot water, as you need it.
- Restart the unit as your manual describes and give it time: a heat pump can take ten to twenty minutes to start a full cycle.
- If the unit runs a full cycle with no code, the fault is cleared. If the code returns, write down the code and what the unit was doing (heating, hot water or defrosting) before calling a technician — it speeds up the diagnosis.
When to call a professional
This code usually points to a faulty part, wiring or the control board on a Itho Daalderop heat pump. Run the checks above to rule out the simple causes, then book a technician — and book one straight away if any of these apply:
- The code comes back after you have run the checks and a test cycle.
- You smell burning, see sparks or scorch marks, or the breaker trips.
- Water is leaking and you cannot stop it.
- The fix needs panels opened beyond what your manual describes, or a part tested with a meter, and you are not set up for that.
When you call, give the brand, the code A1 32, your model number (on a label on the type plate, usually on the side of the unit) and the checks you already ran. It shortens the visit.
Repair or replace?
This fault is in professional territory: the fix usually means a major part or board-level work, and the labour adds up. If your machine is already well into its service life, get the repair quote first, then compare it with the price of a current equivalent model before you decide. Paying a large share of a new machine's price to repair an old one is rarely the better deal; replacing a machine over one cheap fault is wasteful too.
Parts that may be involved
Temperature sensor T4 (injection)
Parts are model-specific. Find your model number first — usually on a label on the type plate, usually on the side of the unit — and match the part to that number before ordering.
Questions people ask about A1 32
What does A1 32 mean on a Itho Daalderop heat pump?
A1 32 means: The injection temperature (sensor T4) is too low. With code 32 the injection temperature in the refrigerant circuit falls too far. That fits a very cold source, but also pressure loss in the circuit. Checking the pressures and the sensor is work for an installer with F-gas certification.
Can I fix Itho Daalderop A1 32 myself?
Only the preliminary checks. Code A1 32 usually means a part, wiring or the control board has failed, which is a technician job. Run the checks to rule out simple causes before you book.
How do I clear Itho Daalderop A1 32?
Fix what the checks above found first — a filter cleaned, a setting corrected, power restored. Clearing the code without fixing the cause only brings it back. Make sure the heat pump has power and the controller is set to heating or hot water, as you need it. Restart the unit as your manual describes and give it time: a heat pump can take ten to twenty minutes to start a full cycle.
