Risk level

High

Professional inspection is recommended.

Urgency

High

Quick answer

U2-44 means “Supply voltage error” on the scoped Altherma 4 H F family. Daikin records this trigger: Undervoltage during operation. Effect: Heat pump will stop operating. The table marks the reset as manual.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Preserve the diagnostic state
  • Use the displayed reset path once
  • Isolate abnormal electrical symptoms

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Measured handoff for U2-44

What a technician must be able to justify

A technician is coming

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Measured handoff for U2-44

    What they doGive the technician U2-44, both model numbers, the source trigger “Undervoltage during operation”, the effect “Heat pump will stop operating”, reset result and recurrence conditions. They should follow Daikin's power and electrical protection branch and compare live measurements with the service values before replacing parts.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Checks and evidence, step by step

Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. 1

    Preserve the diagnostic state

    No special tools

    Procedure

    Photograph U2-44 and the complete display. Record both unit model numbers, operating mode, requested temperatures, weather, system pressure shown to the user and the moment the code appeared.

    Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

  2. 2

    Use the displayed reset path once

    No special tools

    Procedure

    Daikin marks this code as manual reset. Only when the installation is safe, follow the reset instruction shown by the user interface or the exact user manual once. Do not enter maintenance mode; recurrence ends user troubleshooting.

    Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

  3. 3

    Isolate abnormal electrical symptoms

    No special tools

    Procedure

    Leave the system off after burning smell, heat, noise, sparking or repeated protective trips. Do not open electrical panels, test terminals or repeatedly re-energize the unit.

    Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

What it means

In guide 4P773391-1C (2026.02), Daikin assigns U2-44 to “Supply voltage error”. The documented trigger is “Undervoltage during operation” and the operating effect is “Heat pump will stop operating”. This is a precise controller decision for Daikin Altherma 4 H F — EPSK(S)04~14A + EPVX07~14S18+23A; it does not by itself prove which component failed.

Warnings and stop conditions
