Bosch WTW87NH2UC 4.0 cu ft 800 Series Smart Heat Pump E:33 Error Fix: Heat Pump Refrigerant Temperature Error

The heat pump refrigerant temperature sensor is reading out of range. This sensor monitors the temperature of the refrigerant in the heat pump circuit. An abnormal reading may indicate a refrigerant leak, a blocked condenser, or a sensor failure. Check the sensor wiring and measure resistance. Clean the condenser coils of lint and dust. If the sensor is good and the condenser is clean, a refrigerant charge issue may exist — requires certified service.
