Alarm 336 - High current load, compressor
The output current from the inverter to the compressor has been temporarily too high 3 times within 2 hours or continuously for 1 hour. This suggests the compressor is drawing excessive current.
Alarm 337 - High power load, compressor
The power output from the inverter has been too high 3 times within 2 hours or continuously for 1 hour. This suggests the compressor is consuming excessive power.
Alarm 353 - Failed start, no pressure diff.
The pressure difference between sensors BP9 and BP8 has been too low at compressor start 3 times within 30 minutes. This indicates the compressor is not effectively compressing refrigerant.
Alarm 354 - Compressor speed too low
The compressor speed is below the lowest permitted speed, due to the inverter's safety function reducing the speed outside of the compressor’s working range. This indicates an issue preventing the compressor from running at its minimum effective speed.
Alarm 418 - Low defrosting flow
The flow during defrosting is low. The display instructs to check the particle filter and pump. This hinders effective defrosting and can lead to ice build-up.

CPU (green) LED not lit - CPU without power
The green CPU LED on the base board (AA2) is off, indicating that the central processing unit (CPU) is not receiving power or is not active. This prevents the Heat Pump's control functions from operating.
CPU (green) LED continuous light - CPU not running correctly
The green CPU LED on the base board (AA2) is continuously lit instead of flashing, indicating that the central processing unit (CPU) is powered but not running its program correctly. This means the Heat Pump's control functions are impaired.
DEFROST (green) LED flashes - Some protection is active
The green DEFROST LED on the base board (AA2) is flashing. This indicates that a protection function, other than active defrosting, is currently engaged to safeguard the Heat Pump.
DEFROST (green) LED continuous light - Defrosting in progress
The green DEFROST LED on the base board (AA2) is continuously lit. This indicates that the Heat Pump is currently undergoing a defrosting cycle to remove ice from the outdoor unit's evaporator.
ERROR (red) LED flashes - Info alarm (temporary), active
The red ERROR LED on the base board (AA2) is flashing. This indicates that a temporary 'info alarm' is active. These alarms often resolve themselves but alert you to an operational condition.
ERROR (red) LED continuous light - Continuous alarm, active
The red ERROR LED on the base board (AA2) is continuously lit. This indicates that a continuous, active alarm is present. This is a more serious fault requiring attention.
EXT COM (green) LED not lit - No communication with indoor module/control module
The green EXT COM LED on the base board (AA2) is off, indicating that there is no communication between the Heat Pump and the NIBE indoor module or control module. This prevents control and status updates.
High room temperature
The room temperature is higher than desired or set, leading to discomfort. This usually points to incorrect system settings.
INT COM (green) LED not lit - No communication with inverter
The green INT COM LED on the base board (AA2) is off, indicating that there is no internal communication between the Heat Pump's base board and the inverter. This is critical for compressor control.
Ice build-up in the fan, grille and/or fan cone on S2125
Ice is building up on the outdoor unit's fan, grille, or fan cone. This can restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, and potentially damage the fan.
Low hot water temperature or no hot water
The domestic hot water supply is not reaching the desired temperature, or there is no hot water available. This problem specifically applies if the Heat Pump is docked to the hot water heater.
Low room temperature
The room temperature is lower than desired or set. This can indicate an issue with heating demand, system settings, or the heating distribution.
PWR (green) LED not lit - Base board without power
The green PWR LED on the base board (AA2) is off, indicating that the main control board is not receiving power. The Heat Pump cannot operate without power to the base board.
PWR-INV (green) LED not lit - Inverter without power
The green PWR-INV LED is off, indicating that the inverter unit is not receiving power. The inverter is crucial for controlling the compressor.
NIBE S2125 does not start
The Heat Pump S2125 is not turning on or beginning its operation. This can be due to various reasons, including no demand for heating/cooling/hot water, temperature conditions, or an active alarm.
NIBE S2125 not communicating
The Heat Pump S2125 is not communicating with its associated NIBE indoor module or control module. This prevents control, status monitoring, and alarm reporting.
