What it means
F37013 reports that the heat sink temperature sensor in the HF Damping Module is short-circuited. The HF Choke Module that appears alongside it in the fault value is the reactor module, as the manual's note states.
Why it appears
- The temperature sensor fitted in the heat sink of the HF Damping Module is short-circuited.
What to check
- Contact the manufacturer — this is the only remedy the manual names for this fault.
Reading the message value
- The drive enters the fault value in r0949; interpret it in binary.
- Bit 0: HF Damping Module
- Bit 1: HF Choke Module
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — fault value: read it for this fault to obtain the binary-coded module information, with bit 0 for the HF Damping Module and bit 1 for the HF Choke Module.
Acknowledging and restarting
Acknowledge the fault immediately; a new start is only possible once the fault has been acknowledged and is no longer present.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F37013 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F37013 mean on a SINAMICS drive?
It reports a short-circuit in the heat sink temperature sensor of the HF Damping Module. The fault value in r0949, read in binary, distinguishes bit 0 (HF Damping Module) from bit 1 (HF Choke Module).
How is F37013 repaired?
The manual names no on-site measures for this fault; its only remedy is to contact the manufacturer.
Which parameter belongs to fault F37013?
r0949 holds the fault value; interpret it in binary, with bit 0 for the HF Damping Module and bit 1 for the HF Choke Module (the reactor module).
How is F37013 reset?
The fault is acknowledged immediately, and the drive accepts a new start command once the fault has been acknowledged and is no longer present.
