What you will see
- Code 106 at start-up or soon after
- Often appears after electrical work, a meter change or new wiring in the house
Why it happens
The inverter checks that it has a proper earth reference. A broken earth wire, a dry or corroded earth pit, or AC wires connected to the wrong terminals all cause this fault.
