Mitsubishi Electric Mini-Split Code U6

Soft lockout

Power module abnormality / compressor overcurrent interruption. The board checked the power module after detecting overcurrent (a UF or UP condition) and found it abnormal.

Manual wording: “Power module - Check abnormality by driving power module in case overcurrent is detected. (UF or UP error condition)

Documented for: A-Control outdoor units (PUZ, MUZ, MXZ)

Likely causes, most common first

  1. Outdoor stop valve is closed
  2. Decrease of power supply voltage
  3. Looseness, disconnection or reversed connection of the compressor wiring
  4. Defective compressor
  5. Defective outdoor power circuit board

What you can safely check yourself

  • Check that the breaker feeding the outdoor unit is on and has not tripped
  • Turn the system off at the breaker, wait one minute, and turn it back on once

When to call a technician

Stop valves, compressor wiring and the inverter power module are all high-voltage refrigerant-circuit items. Call a technician.

A Mitsubishi Electric mini-split throwing this code repeatedly has a reason — clearing the code without fixing the cause just hides it.
