Possible Causes
Conflicting mode commands from multiple controllers, Centralized controller lock, Incorrect group control wiring, Faulty central controller
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before modifying control wiring.
Steps:
- Check controllers: If multiple remote controllers are installed, ensure they are not commanding conflicting modes (e.g., one in cooling, one in heating).
- Central control: If a central controller (e.g., Mitsubishi Electric centralized controller) is installed, check its settings for lockouts or mode restrictions.
- Group wiring: Verify that group control wiring is correct and that only intended units are grouped.
- Reset controllers: Power cycle controllers and the system to clear temporary conflicts.
