What does Ud mean?

This fault triggers if the outdoor pipe thermistor (TH1) detects 70°C (158°F) or more during compressor operation. It indicates excessive heat within the outdoor unit, likely due to restricted airflow, a malfunctioning outdoor fan, or a faulty thermistor. Persistent overheating can lead to compressor failure and significant reduction in cooling efficiency.
