Mitsubishi air conditioning units alert owners to errors using LEDs: the indoor circuit board (ICB) has a green LED (GLED) and a red LED (IRLED), and the outdoor circuit board (OCB) has the same. We are going to look at common faults and how the LEDs in the system can alert you to an error.

Unless stated, these error codes and signals apply to all R410A air conditioning units.

 

No error code, RLED on ICB and OCB stays off and the GLED on ICB and OCB keeps flashing:

Thankfully, everything is running as normal.
