| You can check | Technician should confirm |
|---|---|
| Before taking any system action on FR13 / all lamps 0.5s, take a short video of the blinking-light sequence. | Confirm the exact model pairing behind FR13 / all lamps 0.5s. |
| Capture the Mitsubishi Electric indoor and outdoor model stickers so the correct family row is used. | Check jumper caps, capacity settings, paired indoor/outdoor model compatibility, and recent board changes. |
| The selected source row lists no customer reset procedure. Note whether one room, several rooms, or the whole system is affected. | Only quote parts after configuration and communication checks are ruled out. |

What changes the next step
These clues decide whether the first check is room-side, shared outdoor-side, refrigerant-side, source-table, or model-family confirmation.
| What you see | What it points to |
|---|---|
| Only one indoor unit shows FR13 / all lamps 0.5s. | The affected room, indoor board path, wiring route, or local component should be checked first. |
| Several rooms or the outdoor unit show the same FR13 / all lamps 0.5s fault. | Prioritise the shared outdoor side, power path, and source-listed system branch. |
| The fault remains displayed or returns during operation. | Start with the source-row diagnostic branch before approving parts. |
| The model family is different from the row you found online. | Use the model or series filter first; same-looking codes can still belong to different diagnostic tables. |
| The model belongs to Inverter Split, Multi-Split rows such as FN Series, MSXY-FN. | The loaded row is source-backed by official diagnostic material. Use the matching source row before quoting parts. |
