UF

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. 1

    Verify that all stop valves are fully open.

  2. 2

    Check the power supply facility for adequate and stable voltage.

  3. 3

    Inspect compressor wiring (U·V·W phase) for looseness, disconnection, or incorrect polarity. Refer to Section 10-9.

  4. 4

    Test the compressor for proper operation and resistance values. Refer to Section 10-6.

  5. 5

    Replace the outdoor power circuit board if all other components are verified to be functioning correctly.
