U9 on a Mitsubishi Electric heat pump: Abnormal voltage error (see service handbook)
Short answer
On a Mitsubishi Electric heat pump, U9 means: Abnormal voltage error (see service handbook). The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset. An engineer is needed to fix the cause. The wording differs by model range — each is shown below.

Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — needs a manual reset once the cause is fixed |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: Not stated as auto-recovering in the service manual; code is logged in the outdoor unit error history.
Manual reset: Clear via RESET on the main remote controller after the cause is fixed; service manual actions include switching power off and on to recheck.
What you can check
On the Ecodan Hydrodan
- Note the code, unit and ref. address shown on the main remote controller and contact your installer (Mitsubishi user manuals: 'Make a note of the error code number and contact installer'). Check the heat pump breaker/isolator at the consumer unit is on and read the primary system pressure gauge (if fitted) so you can report it. A single reset from the main remote controller (RESET, then Yes) may be tried; if the code returns, do not keep resetting. Do not open the outdoor unit, cylinder/hydrobox or any casing. Check that the heat pump's dedicated breaker/isolator (and, where fitted, the separate indoor-unit supply) is switched on; if it trips again, leave it off.

- Note the code, unit and ref. address shown on the main remote controller and contact your installer (Mitsubishi user manuals: 'Make a note of the error code number and contact installer'). Check the heat pump breaker/isolator at the consumer unit is on and read the primary system pressure gauge (if fitted) so you can report it. A single reset from the main remote controller (RESET, then Yes) may be tried; if the code returns, do not keep resetting. Do not open the outdoor unit, cylinder/hydrobox or any casing. Check that the heat pump's dedicated breaker/isolator (and, where fitted, the separate indoor-unit supply) is switched on; if it trips again, leave it off.
- Note the code, unit and ref. address shown on the main remote controller and contact your installer. Do not reset repeatedly: this is an electrical/compressor protection code. If the breaker or RCD has tripped, or there is a burning smell, leave the heat pump switched off at its isolator and call an engineer. Do not open any casing.
