Uff, how is it possible to have such a low supply temperature in the brine at this time of year?! Of course, that explains the ice.

Two theories. 1) Screed heated with probes, probes are overloaded and need to be regenerated or are irreparably defective. Never dry the screed with the probes! 2) Probes are turned off, e.g. at the distributor

One of the (few) advantages of an air-to-water heat pump

No, the screed program was done using the heating rod, our brine was not even connected at that time. Well, we informed the company but as long as we have hot water and don't have to sit in the cold, it's not an emergency for them... So it looks like waiting, hope it doesn't lead to damage during that time.

no damage occurs, we also heated for a whole winter with such subzero temperatures. It is just less efficient (less spread between WQ-in and WQ-out) and eventually the heat pump switches off (depending on the model, mine at -9°C)

Can you see if hot water is being produced with the help of the heating element?

Do you have an inspection shaft outside where the probes are connected? Is everything opened?

Has the heat pump ever run without these freezing issues and the low brine temperature?

The heating system was put into operation on 01.07.2020 because we wanted to move in, unfortunately the brine pipe was still not inside the house, so we had to produce hot water via the heating element for 2 weeks. Then the brine was connected and the checkmark for electric on the heat generator was removed, so I think the heating system runs without it.... after the brine pipe was connected, the heat pump ran for about 3 to 4 weeks without ice and malfunctions. Then our central ventilation system was put into operation, which is also controlled by the heat pump. From here the problems started, that was around August sometime. 2 days after the technician left, we had no hot water anymore because the system reported a malfunction. So someone came again, looked at everything, changed a few settings, then everything worked again for a few days... Then the same error occurred again, so someone came to check again but that didn’t help either. 2 weeks ago, the entire brine pipe was flushed again, since then the heat pump has been running without malfunctions. The ice now forms only at night when the nights are cold and apparently the system has more to do. No, we do not have a shaft, the supply and return flow come directly into the house, the valves are all open as well. In our case, the probes are arranged like a ring circuit I believe. So all 3 boreholes were basically connected with each other, as I have drawn.
