Brink Climate Systems MVHR unit faults: fault codes, causes and parts

Replace the filters and then reset the counter on the control panel; without a reset the message stays on. Which filter set you need depends on the type and year of manufacture. View the matching parts → Read also: which MVHR filter set fits your unit →

Start with the filters: dirty filters make the fans run harder. If the noise persists, the fan bearings are often worn or there is dirt in the impeller. View the matching parts → Read the full explanation: MVHR unit making noise →

In a properly working MVHR unit, the fresh air is preheated by the extracted air. If the supply air feels cold, the heat exchanger is dirty, the bypass is open or the pre-heater is faulty. View the matching parts → Read also: cold supply air – bypass or heat exchanger? →

Usually the airflow is too low: dirty filters, a clogged duct or a unit stuck on the lowest setting. Have the air volumes measured if cleaning does not help. View the matching parts → Read also: which MVHR filter set fits your unit →

The appliance is reporting that it has shut itself down or cannot continue. The code on the display points to the group of causes: ignition, water pressure, a sensor, the fan or communication with the thermostat. The table above shows, for each code, what Brink Climate Systems means by it.

The reset button is on the control panel of your Brink Climate Systems MVHR unit; on most appliances you hold it down for two to five seconds until the display responds. Reset once. If the same fault comes straight back, resetting will not solve it and a part or a setting needs attention. Always consult the manual for your model: the position of the button and how long to press it differ per series.

You can top up the water pressure, bleed the system, replace filters and clean a siphon yourself. Anything behind the sealed section of a gas appliance is a different matter: work on the gas valve, burner, heat exchanger and flue must be carried out by a certified gas engineer.

That depends on the cause and whether a part is needed. With us you can see the part straight away with its price and delivery time, so you know where you stand in advance. If you call in an engineer, always ask about the call-out charge and hourly rate before they come.

Check the rating plate for the exact type and use it to search our catalogue, or search directly by the manufacturer number of the faulty part. Each part lists the appliances it fits.
