13-time blink 2.5 seconds OFF

13-time blink 2.5 seconds OFF — Bus-bar voltage (DC) detection abnormality

Mitsubishi Electric · Air Conditioners

What does 13-time blink 2.5 seconds OFF mean?

The outdoor unit LED blinks 13 times with a 2.5-second pause. This indicates that the bus-bar voltage of the inverter cannot be detected normally. This can happen due to instantaneous power voltage drops or short-time power failures, especially for MUZ-AP71 models.

Common Causes

  • Instantaneous power voltage drop (short-time power failure)
  • Abnormal bus-bar voltage detection
  • Issue with the inverter/compressor system
