A125 - Lower element error or relay stuck closed
There is an error with the lower heating element or its relay is stuck in the closed position, potentially causing continuous heating. The heater is disabled.
A126 - Upper element error or relay stuck closed
The upper heating element has an error, or its relay is stuck closed. This could lead to continuous heating and has disabled the heater.
A127 - Element wire routing error
The heating elements may be mis-wired, or the control board may have failed. This has disabled the heater, and electrical connections need to be checked.
A128 - Lower element relay failure to close error
The control board's relay for the lower heating element has failed to close. This error disables the heater, and troubleshooting involves checking wiring and components.
A129 - Upper element relay failure to close error
The control board's relay for the upper heating element has failed to close, disabling the heater. Check wiring and component resistance.
T130 - Unit off / Air temperature freezing: Enable Unit
The ambient temperature is below freezing, which can damage the heat pump. The unit is off to prevent freezing. You need to enable the heater.
A200 - High water temp! [ECO] Call Tech Service
The ECO (Energy Cut Off) high-temperature limit has tripped, disabling the heater due to excessively high water temperature. This requires service.
A502 - Time clock needs to be programmed / Controller malfunction
The controller has malfunctioned, and the time clock feature needs to be programmed. The heater is disabled until this is resolved.
A503 - Time clock not advancing time properly
The time clock feature is not functioning correctly, meaning the time is not advancing as it should. This could be a controller issue.
