Re: mitsu indoor problem
Did you carefully check the power supply?
If there is a poor connection on N line you can have a 'floating N' problem.
Between earth & N there should be zero volts.
But if there is a poor N connection in the power supply line then there will be some measurable voltage between E & N at the outdoor unit & or indoor unt power supply terminals & silly voltage on the L line.
I have seen Mitsubishi split systems working with this problem 20 to 40 volts E to N. They may work for a week or two & then blow a board, some times the outdoor board & another time the indoor board.
If the N is completely disconected then the problem is easy to spot & boards tend to blow on first startup.

Re: mitsu indoor problem
I had a problem like this some time ago. Found the geniuses that fitted the condensate pump had wired the live 240v onto the signal wire of the board thus blowing the outdoor fuses and boards.

Re: mitsu indoor problem
You could also have a problem with condensate.
Check that all of the pipework is inside the drip tray as stray drops of water will short out the electrics and be dried out by the time you are called to the problem
As will a short charge. Frost builds up where the pipes enter the evap and then when the unit switches off the defrost just overflows and causes a short.
