Timer/Check Indicator Lamp (Yellow) Long Flash

Timer/Check Indicator Lamp (Yellow) Long Flash — Filter cleaning required

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries · Packaged Air Conditioners

What does Timer/Check Indicator Lamp (Yellow) Long Flash mean?

The yellow Timer/Check indicator lamp flashes with a long pattern (2 seconds on, 1 second off). This indicates that the air filter needs cleaning, typically occurring after approximately 120 hours of cumulative operation. A clogged filter can lead to reduced cooling/heating capacity, increased noise, and potential dew formation.

Common Causes

  • Accumulated dust and debris in the air filter from normal operation
  • Reaching the programmed filter cleaning interval

    If the light does not reset or the issue persists after cleaning, consult your dealer; the cumulative running time setting for the filter sign may need adjustment by a service professional.
