SUN-5-12K-SG01HP3-EU-DM2 three-phase hybrid (warning codes)
Deye W08 error code
External fan 2 warning.
Likely causes
- Fan 2 not connected
- Fan 2 failure
- Fan 2 obstructed
Checks to run, in order
- 1Check the fan 2 connector
- 2Check that fan 2 runs
- 3Clean the fan
Fixes
- Reconnect or replace fan 2
- Clear the obstruction
When to escalate
If fan 2 runs correctly and W08 persists, the distributor should check the fan feedback circuit.
Fix it with the right tools
Check the system around the fault before replacing parts: load, battery bank, PV string and commissioning settings. If you need a second opinion, send the code and your inverter model to our team.
Before you open the inverter
- Isolate both the AC and DC sides, then confirm the display is dead before touching terminals.
- Use insulated tools and one hand where possible. DC arcs do not self-extinguish like AC.
- If you see burnt terminals, swollen cells, leaking electrolyte or a burning smell, stop and escalate instead of resetting the fault.

When should I escalate Deye W08?
If fan 2 runs correctly and W08 persists, the distributor should check the fan feedback circuit.
Can I reset Deye W08 myself?
Only after isolating the AC and DC sides and running the checks above. If Deye W08 returns immediately, stop resetting it and escalate; a repeating fault usually points to a real circuit, battery or hardware problem.
Which models show Deye W08?
Deye W08 is documented for SUN-5-12K-SG01HP3-EU-DM2 three-phase hybrid (warning codes). Confirm the code on your own unit's display or manual before ordering parts.
