U0Refrigerant shortage

Name in the manufacturer's documentation (user manual): Refrigerant shortage[1]

In plain words (editorial)

Refrigerant shortage is suspected. The service manual also lists faulty refrigerant thermistors, a closed stop valve, a clogged circuit, or air/moisture in the circuit.

When to call a service technician: Refrigerant circuit checks need a technician with F-gas certification.
