Compressor overcurrent interruption (Locked rotor)
Mitsubishi Electric · PUZ-HA30/36NHA4 Outdoor Unit
What does UF mean?
Compressor overcurrent is detected within 30 seconds of starting, indicating a locked rotor condition. This can be caused by a closed stop valve, low power supply voltage, incorrect compressor wiring, or a defective compressor or outdoor power board. This fault causes an immediate shutdown to prevent damage, but recurring issues can severely shorten compressor lifespan.
Repair Steps
- 1
Verify that all stop valves are fully open.
- 2
Check the power supply facility for adequate and stable voltage.
- 3
Inspect compressor wiring (U·V·W phase) for looseness, disconnection, or incorrect polarity. Refer to Section 10-9.
- 4
Test the compressor for proper operation and resistance values. Refer to Section 10-6.
- 5
Replace the outdoor power circuit board if all other components are verified to be functioning correctly.
