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.
