Likely causes

How to fix or prevent it

  1. Stop the part and make it safe.
  2. Check the load for blockage.
  3. Have the motor and wiring tested.

What the HEART does by itself

It raises an error alert. Current limits belong to the product's own protection, which a HEART never overrides.

When to call service

Yes, if it repeats: high current means heat and fire risk.


Inside a message a code is written bare, "code": "storage.full". In logs, tickets, documents and searches it is written HEART storage.full. Things that simply happen, such as system.started, are event types, not faults. The codes are defined in Part 3, Section 5.4, and their H-numbers in Section 5.7. All of it, as data: fault-codes.json.
