Mitsubishi Electric PWFY Air Conditioners
24 fault codes documented
Error 0403 - Serial communication error (Control board to INV board).
This error indicates a serial communication failure between the main control board and the inverter (INV) board, specifically identified by detail code 01. This disrupts critical communication needed for compressor operation.
Error 1102 – Abnormal discharge air temperature detected
The unit detects a discharge temperature of 115°C (239°F) or higher multiple times (three detections within 30 minutes), leading to an abnormal stop. A preliminary error code will appear on the LED.
Error 1301 – Abnormal low pressure detected during compressor start
When the compressor starts from Stop Mode, if low pressure reads 0.098 MPa (14 psi) immediately before start-up, the operation stops. This indicates a problem with low pressure in the system.
Error 1302 (High Pressure 1) – Abnormal high pressure detected repeatedly
The unit detects a pressure of 3.23 MPa (468 psi) or higher multiple times (three detections within 30 minutes) during operation, leading to an abnormal stop. A preliminary error code may appear on the LED for 30 minutes after each stoppage.
Error 1302 (High Pressure 2) – Abnormal low pressure before startup detected
If a pressure of 0.098 MPa (14 psi) or lower is registered on the pressure sensor immediately before startup, it will trigger an abnormal stop, and error code '1302' will be displayed. This indicates an issue with low pressure impacting the high-pressure system.
Error 2000 - Low water flow detected (Aqua Unit).
The unit's flow switch has detected that the water flow rate to the unit is at or below the specified minimum, causing the unit to stop operation. This indicates insufficient water circulation.
Error 2134 - Abnormal water temperature (TH6) detected.
The thermistor TH6, which monitors water temperature (inlet for BU), has detected a temperature of 85°C (185°F) or greater. This high temperature causes the unit to stop and enter a 3-minute restart delay mode.
Error 2135 – Water heat exchanger freeze up detected
The system detects conditions indicating that the water-source heat exchanger is freezing. This error is critical and requires immediate corrective action to prevent damage to the heat exchanger, refrigerant piping, or surrounding property. A normal power reset will not clear this error in newer versions (Ver 1.24 and later).
Error 4115 – Power supply signal synchronization error
The system cannot determine the power frequency when the power is switched on. This indicates an issue with the power supply or related electrical components, such as wiring, coils, or the noise filter.
Error 4220 (Detail 01) – Bus voltage error (PWM circuit fault / PAM damage)
An error is detected in the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) circuit on the INV (Inverter) board. This can lead to PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) damage and usually requires replacing the INV board.
Error 4220 (Detail 108) – Abnormal bus voltage drop detected
A DC bus voltage of 200V or less is detected during inverter operation. This can be caused by power supply environment issues, a voltage drop within the system, or faults in the noise filter or INV board.
Error 4220 (Detail 109) – Abnormal bus voltage rise detected
The inverter detects a DC bus voltage of 380V or higher during operation. This often indicates an incorrect power supply voltage connection or an internal issue with the INV board.
Error 4220 (Detail 121) – Inverter board converter circuit error
An error is detected within the converter circuit on the INV (Inverter) board. This indicates a critical internal hardware fault, typically requiring the replacement of the INV board.
Error 4250 (Detail 101) – IPM (Intelligent Power Module) error
An overcurrent condition is detected while the power module error detection signal is output. This indicates a problem within the inverter's intelligent power module, often due to wiring issues, compressor failure, or the INV board itself.
Error 4250 (Detail 102) – ACCT overcurrent detected
An overcurrent of 34.5Apeak or 16Arms or above is detected by the ACCT sensor. This indicates a significant electrical overload, potentially from incorrect wiring, fan issues, compressor failure, or a fault with the INV board.
Error 510x - Temperature sensor (thermistor) failure.
The unit has detected an issue with one of its temperature sensors (thermistor), indicating either a short circuit (very high temperature reading) or an open circuit (very low temperature reading). The specific code (e.g., 5102, 5103) indicates which sensor (TH22, TH13, TH23, TH11, TH6, TH8) is affected.
Error 5110 - Heat sink sensor (THHS) failure.
This error code indicates a detected issue with the heat sink temperature sensor (THHS). This could be due to a short circuit (indicating a high temperature) or an open circuit (indicating a low temperature), typically occurring either before or during the inverter's operation.
Error 5201 - High pressure sensor (63HS) detects low pressure.
The unit's high pressure sensor (63HS) is detecting a pressure of 0.098MPa (14psi) or less during operation. This triggers an error stop and an anti-restart mode to protect the system.
Error 5202 – Low-pressure sensor fault
The system detects an abnormal reading from the low-pressure sensor (4.06 MPa / 589 psi or above). The unit may continue operating by using other sensors as a backup, but this indicates a potential issue.
Error 5301 (Output Current Low) – ACCT sensor short circuit/open circuit
The system detects that the output current remains below 1.5 Arms for 10 seconds while the inverter is in operation. This indicates a problem with the ACCT sensor or inverter components.
Error 5301 (Pre-Startup Abnormal ACCT) – ACCT sensor fault before inverter startup
An abnormal value is detected by the ACCT sensor detection circuit immediately before the inverter starts. This suggests an issue with the sensor, its wiring, or the compressor itself.
Error 7102 - M-NET transmission line communication issue.
The self-diagnosis LED displays error code 7102, signaling a problem with the M-NET transmission line, which facilitates communication between system components. This error can stem from a short circuit or improper wiring.
"HO" or "PLEASE WAIT" displayed on remote, unit unresponsive.
The remote controller continuously displays "HO" or "PLEASE WAIT" and the air conditioning unit does not operate. This message should typically clear within 5 minutes after the unit is powered on.
Remote controller display is unlit, unit does not start.
The remote controller screen remains blank, and the air conditioning unit does not power on or respond to any commands. The power indicator light also fails to illuminate.
