Hi, i recently had the same problem with mine and found that the inside adapter was unplugged. I plugged it back in and all is working find, so if anyone has the "Busy Hi 40" message on the control box the check the adapter :)

    I just had this problem with my unit and found this comment which didn't help me, but I was able to fix the problem after a few hours and a bit of detective work, saving myself several hundred dollars in repair costs. There is a small overheat sensor inside the unit (Brivis MPS 20HE) which is connected to the control unit by an orange wire, and it turned out that the sensor had just got old and died. When I removed it, there was a visible crack in the ceramic surround, and when I shook it, it rattled like a busted light bulb, which isn't normal. It's not hard to find and replace (requires removing half a dozen screws and just a little bit of care), and the sensor only cost $35. Just thought I'd share for anyone with a similar problem.

    Thanks for sharing this Stuart, it saved me hundreds too. In my case it looks like it was a corroded or loose connection to the overheat sensor, I re-terminated the cables at the sensor end (which were visibly corroded) and re-seated the connector at the control unit end, and now it's working.

    Thank you all for sharing your experience in solutions. I had the same issue few days ago. In my case , the overheat switch sensor at the return air flute end had corroded causing a closed circuit between the orange and purple wire. With a little bit of patience and care i had to remove the black flute fan and disconnect the exhaust outlet from the unit. I bought a new switch sensor for twenty five dollars and replace the corroded one. After assembly , the power was restored to the unit and the error Bussy 40 H1 disappeared , allowing the unit to function properly.
    Once again, thank you so much. You all saved me a pretty penny.
