Mitsubishi Ecodan fault L6
Circulation water freeze protection
Heat pumpWhat it means
Error code displayed when THW1 detects a temperature ≤ 1ºC for 10 consecutive seconds or THW2 detects a temperature ≤ 3ºC for 10 consecutive seconds. Applicable in DHW/Heating/Cooling/LP/FS/OS modes. Exception: error code will not be displayed if FS function is disabled, or for 10 minutes after water circulation pump1 is switched on.
Likely causes
- Insufficient system head
- Reduced flow in primary water circuit due to faulty pump, insufficient air purge, blocked strainer, or leak in water circuit
- Valve operation fault
- 2-way valve (local supply) actuator fault
- 3-way valve actuator fault
- THW1 has become detached from its holder
- THW1 or THW2 fault
- FTC board failure
Where to start
- Refer to table in section 10-6 to determine if system pump meets requirements
- Check circulation pump (see 10-6 for how to check)
- Open purge valve to remove trapped air

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.
