Alarm 234 - Exchange sensors flow / return

NIBE · S-Series Heat Pumps

What does 234 mean?

The Heat Pump detects that the return line temperature is hotter than the flow line. This suggests that the temperature sensors for flow and return have been switched during installation or a major flow issue.

Common Causes

  • Connection of supply and return lines are switched around.
  • Flow and return sensors are incorrectly installed or wired.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Check the wiring and placement of the flow and return temperature sensors (BT10 and BT11) to ensure they are not swapped.

  3. 3

    If you suspect the sensors are switched, contact your installer or a NIBE service technician to correct the wiring.
