Samsung HTQuiet 8KW Idle power consumption 60W?

Hardware Heatpump

Hi all,

Anyone noticed with your pumps power draw of around 60W when completely idle ?

I’ve just noticed it and don’t have any explanation. What is consuming the power there ? These are 3 consequent days. Outside temp above 5C, during a day above 10C. Here I’ve noticed when the pump finished the heating because the indoor temperature was reached it idled fine for around 40 minutes consuming 11W which is just right for powering controller and circuits. BUT the, suddenly is starts consuming 60W I don’t know for what. The pump is idle completely and there is no reason for that. This lasts couple of hours until eventually drop for 11W idle consumption again. This is super weird as there is no reason for that intermediate draw lasting several hours. Are they mining come crypto or what ? No jokes…

Hi Michal.
That it’s constant, with definite “on” and “off” timing, suggests to me that it is a winterisation circuit (electrical resistance heating) being energised.
Either that, or it’s you pulling so much data out of the controller with your MIM-B19N that the poor thing is having to supply extra power to the F1-F4 terminals just to keep up with you… :rofl:
