Mitsubishi Ecodan fault 33
L6 error (circulation water freeze protection error) occurs during DHW or LP mode...
Heat pumpWhat it means
The unit runs in Cooling mode when outdoor ambient temperature is lower than 10 degrees C, outside the guaranteed operating range. When defrosting operation runs at such low outdoor ambient temperature after Cooling mode switches to DHW or LP mode, the water temperature in the cooling circuit drops too low, resulting in L6 error that stops all operations.
Likely causes
- Unit runs in Cooling mode when outdoor ambient temperature is lower than 10°C (outside guaranteed operating range)
- Defrosting operation running at low outdoor ambient temperature after switching from Cooling to DHW or LP mode causes cooling circuit water temperature to drop too low
Where to start
- Check outdoor ambient temperature relative to 10°C threshold
- Check freeze stat function preset temperature settings if automatic stop/recovery of cooling operation is desired

Safety: Isolate the outdoor unit and any backup heater, and give the inverter capacitors time to discharge before you open the electrics. Anything on the refrigerant circuit needs F-gas certification.
From the Mitsubishi manual for the Ecodan. Check the model on the data plate before you order parts.
