Mitsubishi MXZ-3C30NAHZ 30,000 BTU 3-Zone Hyper-Heat Multi-Zone Outdoor Unit F4 Error Fix: Outdoor Heat Exchanger Thermistor Error

The outdoor coil temperature sensor (TE thermistor) has failed — open circuit, short circuit, or reading out of range. This sensor monitors the outdoor heat exchanger temperature for defrost control (heating mode) and high-pressure protection (cooling mode). Check the thermistor connector and wiring. Measure resistance — approximately 10K ohms at 25C. A failed outdoor coil thermistor will prevent proper defrost cycling in heating mode, leading to ice buildup on the outdoor unit.
