If your rating plate begins SRK, FDT or KX you have Mitsubishi Heavy Industries — a different company from Mitsubishi Electric. Their codes are not interchangeable, and confusing them is the classic error on this brand.
We are an independent repair company — we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an authorized service provider of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries or Mitsubishi Electric. Brand names are used here only to identify the machines we repair, and all trademarks remain the property of their owners.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries AC repair in Dubai starts with the same check that opens our Mitsubishi Electric page, from the other direction: confirming which Mitsubishi you actually own.
They are separate companies. Both manufacture air conditioning, both sell in the UAE, and they share no platforms, no parts and no diagnostic scheme. The model prefix settles it in seconds.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries uses SRK for wall-mounted splits including the SRK-ZS variants, FDT for cassettes, and KX for VRF systems.
Mitsubishi Electric uses MSZ and MS for wall splits, and PUY, PKA and PEAD across the Mr.Slim range, with City Multi for VRF.
Why this matters practically: search online for a Mitsubishi air conditioner fault code and the results will mix both companies freely, usually without distinguishing them. Follow a code table belonging to the other manufacturer and you get a diagnosis that sounds authoritative and points at the wrong component.
We have been called out to correct exactly that. So the first thing we ask for is the model number, and the first thing we do is confirm which machine we are actually dealing with.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries does have a diagnostic scheme. We still do not publish a table, and the reason is specific.
Inconsistency across generations. The tables that circulate for SRK units differ between model generations, so a mapping that is correct for one vintage can be wrong for another sitting in the same building.
Cross-brand contamination. More seriously, online Mitsubishi code information routinely blends Heavy Industries and Electric without distinguishing them. Reproducing any of it risks publishing another manufacturer's mapping under this brand's name.
Given that this page exists partly to fix that exact confusion, adding to it would be self-defeating.
We confirm the manufacturer from the prefix, identify the platform and refrigerant from the full model number, and diagnose from symptom with measurements — capacitor value against rating, current against nameplate, temperature split across the coil, airflow before and after, and superheat with subcooling where the refrigerant circuit is involved.
That approach does not depend on which generation built your unit and it cannot misidentify a fault by borrowing another brand's table. It is slower to read than a list, and considerably more reliable.
Organised the way we actually work on these units — from what the machine is doing.
Condenser condition and clearance first, then airflow, then charge measured as superheat and subcooling together.
Protection responding to conditions it was designed for. The trigger is usually heat rejection rather than a failed component.
Capacitor value, contactor and control signal in order, well before the compressor is suspected.
On FDT units, obstruction and blower condition first, then the motor and its capacitor, then board output.
Condensate pump or blocked drain on ceiling cassettes, where a pump failure looks exactly like a blocked line.
Batteries and line of sight, then the receiver, then the indoor board. Cheap causes before expensive ones.

A good share of the Mitsubishi Heavy equipment we attend in Dubai is FDT ceiling cassettes in offices, shops and larger apartments, and those bring a fault that wall splits do not have.
A ceiling cassette usually sits below the level of the drain point it has to reach, so it cannot rely on gravity. Instead it has a small condensate pump that lifts the water to where it can drain away. That pump is a mechanical component with a service life, and when it fails the water has nowhere to go.
What you see is water appearing at the ceiling panel, which looks exactly like a blocked drain line. Clear the line and nothing improves, because the line was never the problem. Many callouts on cassettes are resolved by the pump rather than the pipe, and diagnosing which one you have takes checking whether the pump actually runs and lifts.
The other cassette-specific issue is the float switch that accompanies the pump. When water backs up, that switch cuts the unit to prevent an overflow — so a cassette that has stopped working entirely may simply be protecting your ceiling. The unit is fine; the drainage path is not.
Both are ordinary repairs at modest cost. What they are not is a refrigerant problem, and nobody should be quoting gas for water appearing at a ceiling panel.
The prefix confirms the manufacturer and the rest tells us the platform and refrigerant. On this brand that is genuinely half the diagnosis.
If the unit remains within manufacturer warranty we will point you there rather than taking payment.
What the machine is doing, when, and under what conditions. No borrowed code tables.
Capacitor value, current against nameplate, temperature split, airflow, and superheat with subcooling where refrigerant applies.
Common components are straightforward. Where a model-specific board or assembly is involved you get availability and cost before committing.
Fault, fix and cost agreed before anything is dismantled, with a 90-day warranty on parts and labour.
ℹ️ Independent third-party repair notice: we are not an authorized service center, dealer or affiliate of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries or Mitsubishi Electric. We have no endorsement from them and no authorization to carry out warranty work on their behalf. If your unit is still within its manufacturer warranty period, contact the retailer or the brand's own support channel first.

No. They are separate companies, and this is the single most consequential misunderstanding on this brand in the UAE. Both make air conditioning, both are present here, and their products share no platforms, no parts and no diagnostic scheme. The model prefix tells you which you have: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries units generally begin SRK for wall splits, FDT for cassettes and KX for VRF, while Mitsubishi Electric uses MSZ, MS, PUY, PKA, PEAD and City Multi. Looking a code up against the wrong company produces a confident, wrong answer.
Because the published tables that circulate are inconsistent across SRK generations, and — more seriously — they are widely confused online with Mitsubishi Electric codes. Search for a Mitsubishi air conditioner code and you will get results mixing both companies without distinguishing them. Publishing a table under those conditions risks handing you a mapping that belongs to a different manufacturer entirely, which is precisely the error this page exists to prevent. So we identify your unit properly, then diagnose from symptom and measurement.
The range found in UAE homes and small commercial premises. That includes SRK wall-mounted splits, including the SRK-ZS variants, FDT cassette units, and KX VRF systems where the fault sits in an indoor unit or its controls. Refrigerant varies with age — a large share of the UAE installed base runs R410A, with R32 on newer units — and that affects both parts and procedure. Give us the model from the rating plate and we will bring the right components.
On the rating plate, which is a printed or engraved label carrying the model and serial number. On a wall split it is usually on the side or underside of the indoor unit, sometimes behind the front flap, and always on the outdoor unit casing. On a cassette it is generally on the unit body above the ceiling panel. If it is awkward to reach, photograph the outdoor unit plate instead — that is often the more accessible of the two and it carries what we need.
Common service components — capacitors, contactors, fan motors, sensors and thermostats — are generally obtainable and cover the majority of repairs. Where availability is worth confirming before you commit is model-specific control boards and proprietary assemblies, particularly on older SRK generations and on VRF equipment. We would rather establish that at quotation stage than start a job and stall waiting for a part, and on an older unit we will also give you the honest view on whether a costly component is worth it.
If it is still within its manufacturer warranty, contact the retailer you bought it from or the brand support channel for your region first. An independent repair can affect that cover and there is no sense paying for work you are entitled to have done. Our service is for units out of warranty, or where the owner has chosen an independent repairer. We will tell you plainly if we think the warranty route is the better one.
Send us the model number and we will confirm which Mitsubishi you have before we arrive — which is half the diagnosis on this brand.
