Diagnostic steps
Identify the pressure fault
HPA is a pressure-switch alarm. Determine whether it is high or low pressure and whether reset is automatic or manual.
Investigate the refrigeration cause
Check the condenser/airflow for high-pressure trips or charge/restriction for low-pressure trips.
When to call a professional
Pressure faults involve the sealed refrigeration system and must be diagnosed by a qualified refrigeration technician.

Immediate or delayed alarm from the multifunction digital input (external alarm)
Open-door alarm from the door-switch digital input
Low-temperature alarm — measured temperature below set point by more than parameter AL
High-temperature alarm — measured temperature above set point by more than parameter AH
Unit parameter reading (data) error — saved configuration data error
Operating parameter reading (data) error — manual reset
Defrost ended by timeout — last defrost stopped on maximum duration, not on temperature
Defrost running — status message shown during a defrost cycle (not an alarm)
Dirty-condenser warning/alarm — pre-alarm (cht) between Ac-AE and Ac, then alarm (CHt) when Ac is exceeded and refrigeration stops (manual reset)
