Mitsubishi MSZ-EF15NA 15,000 BTU Designer Series (Kirigamine Zen) Wall-Mount Indoor Unit E8 Error Fix: Indoor Unit Overcurrent Protection

Error code E8 on the Mitsubishi MSZ-EF15NA 15,000 BTU Designer Series (Kirigamine Zen) Wall-Mount Indoor Unit means: Indoor Unit Overcurrent Protection. The indoor unit PCB has detected excessive current draw from the indoor fan motor or other electrical components. A severely dirty blower wheel causes the fan motor to work harder, drawing more current until overcurrent protection trips. Also caused by motor winding degradation, bearing failure, or a PCB fault in the current sensing circuit. Clean the blower wheel thoroughly. Check motor winding resistance. Replace the fan motor if windings are shorted.
