Mitsubishi SEZ-KD12NA 12,000 BTU Ceiling-Concealed Ducted Indoor Unit P6 Error Fix: Indoor Coil Freeze or Overheating Protection

Error code P6 on the Mitsubishi SEZ-KD12NA 12,000 BTU Ceiling-Concealed Ducted Indoor Unit means: Indoor Coil Freeze or Overheating Protection. The indoor coil temperature has dropped below freezing point (cooling mode) or exceeded safe limits (heating mode), triggering protection shutdown. The indoor LED blinks 6 times. In cooling mode, causes include: dirty air filter (most common), dirty blower wheel restricting airflow, low refrigerant charge, indoor fan running too slow, blocked return air grille. In heating mode, causes include: indoor fan failure, blocked discharge. Clean the air filter first — this resolves the majority of P6 faults. If the filter is clean, inspect the blower wheel for heavy buildup.
