mitsubishi | air-conditioner Error Codes: Troubleshooting, Fixes & Prevention Tips explained below.
What Does the SE Code Mean?❓
SE stands for “Sensor Error” or “Spin Error” and often signals that the motor has failed to function properly. It could also result from a problem with the Hall sensor, which monitors the motor’s speed and position. If this sensor fails or its wiring is disrupted, the washer cannot spin safely and will stop the cycle.

- Faulty Hall sensor (motor position sensor)
