U2 - Inner thermostat (49C) operation activated
The inner thermostat (49C) in the outdoor unit has activated, likely due to an internal overheat condition. This triggers a safety shutdown to prevent damage.
U3 - Discharge thermistor short/open
The discharge thermistor, which measures the temperature of the refrigerant leaving the compressor, is either short-circuited or open. This prevents accurate temperature readings.
U4 - Overheat protection activated
The system has initiated an overheat protection shutdown. This occurs when internal temperatures exceed safe operating limits, often due to restricted airflow or system strain.
U4 - Outdoor thermistor short/open circuit
The outdoor thermistor, which measures the ambient temperature, has a short or open circuit. This prevents the system from accurately sensing external conditions, affecting performance.
