Common Issues & Solutions
Compressor inverter board failure
Symptoms:
System shutdown, error codes, compressor not starting, abnormal noise from outdoor unit
Solution:
Check power supply quality, inspect for moisture damage or burned components, verify proper cooling of inverter heat sink, replace board if diagnostic tests confirm failure, update firmware if available.
BC Controller valve issues
Symptoms:
Uneven heating/cooling, poor zone control, refrigerant distribution problems
Solution:
Verify solenoid valve operation, check for blockages, ensure proper electrical connections, test valve movement, replace valves if stuck or leaking, check control board outputs.
Condensate pump failure
Symptoms:
Water leakage from indoor unit, high water level alarms, unit shutdown, gurgling noises
Solution:
Clean drain pan and check for blockages, verify float switch operation, test pump operation and check for proper discharge, clean or replace pump assembly, ensure proper trap in drain line.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Mitsubishi CITY MULTI VRF systems energy efficient?
Mitsubishi CITY MULTI systems achieve high efficiency through inverter-driven compressors that modulate capacity, flash injection technology for enhanced heating, heat recovery capability, advanced refrigerant control, and the Diamond System Builder software that optimizes system design. Many models exceed 30 IEER.
How does Mitsubishi's R2-Series heat recovery work?
Mitsubishi's R2-Series uses a Branch Circuit (BC) Controller that contains a liquid subcooler and separator allowing simultaneous heating and cooling. The system redirects waste heat from cooling operations to areas requiring heating, using a two-pipe refrigerant system that simplifies installation while maximizing efficiency.
What control options are available for Mitsubishi VRF systems?
Mitsubishi offers multiple control options including local controllers (wall-mounted, wireless), centralized controllers (AE-200A, EW-50A), BACnet/LonWorks/Modbus interfaces for BMS integration, cloud-based controls with remote monitoring, Diamond Controls™ for complete building automation, and SmartME Zone Controller for enhanced user control.
What is Mitsubishi's Hybrid VRF technology?
Mitsubishi's Hybrid VRF (HVRF) uses water instead of refrigerant inside occupied spaces while maintaining the benefits of VRF. The system uses a Hydro BC Controller that exchanges heat between refrigerant and water circuits, eliminating refrigerant in occupied spaces while providing simultaneous heating and cooling capabilities.
