What to check before repair
Use this split to separate safe evidence capture from the tests a technician should prove before quoting parts.
| You can check | Technician should confirm |
|---|---|
| Before taking any system action on E9, take a clear display photo and blinking-light video if the unit shows one. | Confirm whether E9 is drain overflow, float switch, pump, or water-level protection. |
| Capture the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries indoor and outdoor model stickers so the correct family row is used. | Clear and flow-test the drain route, then check pan level and float operation. |
| The manufacturer lists no customer reset procedure for this code. Note whether one room, several rooms, or the whole system is affected. | Test pump power, pump discharge, and slope on cassette or concealed units. |

Drain clearing or pump decision
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries E9 normally stays in repair scope: clear the drain, test the float or pump, and check slope before discussing replacement.
A blocked drain is usually a service-level repair if flow returns after clearing.
Pump or float-switch work needs part testing before replacement is approved.
Concealed drainage problems become labour-heavy because access decides the repair path.
