39

Heatsink sensor fault

Danfoss · VLT HVAC-FC 102 Frequency Converter

What does 39 mean?

The frequency converter is not receiving a temperature signal from the heatsink sensor, specifically the IGBT thermal sensor on the power card. This loss of feedback means the drive cannot monitor critical internal temperatures, posing a significant risk of overheating and damage to the power semiconductors if not resolved.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

  1. 3

    Verify the integrity and connections of the gate drive card, as it processes the sensor signal.

  2. 4

    If all previous checks are inconclusive, the power card itself may be defective and require replacement.
