Ud (100)

Overheat Protection (Outdoor Pipe)

Mitsubishi Electric · PUZ-HA30/36NHA4 Outdoor Unit

What does Ud (100) mean?

The outdoor pipe thermistor (TH2) detects a temperature of 70°C [158°F] or more during compressor operation. This indicates either a defective outdoor fan (fan motor), a short cycle of the outdoor unit during cooling operation, or a faulty outdoor pipe thermistor (TH2).

Common Causes

  • Outdoor pipe temperature has exceeded the overheat protection threshold (Ud code).
  • Insufficient refrigerant flow causing localized overheating.
  • Blockage in the outdoor unit's heat exchanger or piping.
  • Ambient temperature is too high, leading to poor heat dissipation.
