How to enable cooling mode on Mitsubishi Electric PAC-IF072B-E?
Turn Dip SW2-4 to ON.
Why is my Mitsubishi Electric Controller heating system not reaching the set temperature?
If the heating system isn't reaching the set temperature, several factors could be at play. Check if 'Prohibit', a schedule timer, or holiday mode is active, and adjust settings accordingly. Ensure the temperature sensor is in a representative location. The heat pump may not be working. The booster heater cut-out may have tripped. The booster heater breaker (ECB1) may have tripped. The booster heater thermal cut-out may have tripped and cannot be reset using the manual reset button. The heat emitter may be incorrectly sized. There may be a 3-way valve failure. There may be a battery problem (*wireless control only). If a mixing tank is installed, the flow rate between the mixing tank and the heat exchanger may be less than that between the mixing tank and the local system.
Why has the water temperature in my Mitsubishi Electric PAC-IF072B-E Controller DHW tank dropped?
If the temperature of the DHW tank water has dropped, it could be due to water leakage in the pipes connecting to the DHW tank, loose or missing insulation, or a 3-way valve failure. Retighten the nuts holding the pipes onto the DHW tank, replace seal materials, or replace the pipes. Fix any loose insulation. Check the plumbing/wiring to the 3-way valve. Manually override 3-way valve using the main remote controller. Replace 3-way valve coil. Replace 3-way valve.
What does it mean when LED4 is blinking on my Mitsubishi Electric Controller?
If the LED4 on the FTC (Main) is blinking, it indicates a problem with the SD memory card. The card may be full of data, write-protected, not formatted, or formatted in the NTFS file system. Move or delete data, or replace the SD memory card with a new one. Release the write-protect switch. Use an SD memory card formatted in FAT file system, as the FTC is not compatible with NTFS.
Why is my Mitsubishi Electric PAC-IF072B-E Controller leaking water?
If water is leaking, it could be due to poorly sealed connections of water circuit components or water circuit components reaching the end of their life. Tighten connections as required.
Why does the water circulation pump run for a short time unexpectedly on my Mitsubishi Electric PAC-IF072B-E?
If the water circulation pump runs for a short time unexpectedly, it is due to the water circulation pump jam prevention mechanism (routine) to inhibit the build-up of scale.
Why is the heat pump on my Mitsubishi Electric Controller turning on and off repeatedly?
If the heat pump is forced to turn ON and OFF, it is because the smart grid ready input (IN11 and IN12) is used, and switch-on and off commands are input.
Why does error L6 occur frequently during DHW or LP mode after cooling on my Mitsubishi Electric PAC-IF072B-E?
If during DHW or LP mode following the cooling mode, error L6 (circulation water freeze protection) occurs and operation stops frequently, it is because the preset temperature below which the freeze stat. function is activated is low, error L6 is more likely to occur interruption operation before the freeze stat. function is activated. Adjust the preset temperature below which the freeze stat. function is activated.
Why doesn't the cooling system cool down to the set temperature on my Mitsubishi Electric Controller?
If the cooling system does not cool down to the set temperature, it could be because the water in the circulation circuit is unduly hot, causing Cooling mode to start with a delay to protect the outdoor unit. It could also be because the outdoor temperature is lower than the preset temperature below which the freeze stat. function is activated, preventing Cooling mode from starting. To run Cooling mode overriding the freeze stat. function, adjust the preset temperature below which the freeze stat. function is activated.
In 2-zone temperature control, why does only Zone2 not reach the set temperature on my Mitsubishi Electric PAC-IF072B-E Controller?
In 2-zone temperature control, if only Zone2 does not reach the set temperature, it could be due to several reasons. When Zone1 and Zone2 are both in heating mode, the hot water temperature in Zone2 does not exceed that in Zone1. There may be faulty wiring of the motorized mixing valve, faulty installation of motorized mixing valve, incorrect setting of Running time, or motorized mixing valve failure. There is no action necessary.
