U0-00OU: Shortage of refrigerant

Name in the manufacturer's documentation (service manual): OU: Shortage of refrigerant[1]

In plain words (editorial)

The outdoor unit suspects a shortage of refrigerant. The documentation also lists faulty refrigerant thermistors or pressure sensor, a closed stop valve and a clogged circuit – so it is not always a leak.

When to call a service technician: Call a service technician with F-gas certification.
