Daikin E9-00 fault code
Daikin Altherma heat pumps
What it means
Malfunction of electronic expansion valve
The EEV or its drive circuit is faulty. The valve is how the unit controls superheat, so this shows up as poor or unstable performance as well as a code.

Now the harder half: proving what caused it
E9-00 names a symptom, not a root cause. In the app, the same code opens a guided investigation: what to measure first, the expected values for your exact model, and an honest verdict — including “nothing in this machine is broken” when that's what the readings say.
