Gree P5 fault code

What it means

Phase-current overcurrent protection

Compressor phase current exceeded the limit.

Safety: Safe isolation before disconnecting the compressor or testing the inverter board — capacitors hold charge.

UK models this code applies to

From the Gree service literature we hold (Gree (Zhuhai) Service Manual, Bora Inverter R32 §9.1 Error Code List) — not a scraped list.

Now the harder half: proving what caused it

P5 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.
