In plain words (editorial)
Refrigerant-insufficient protection. Besides a lack of refrigerant, the service manual lists high-humidity cooling conditions, outdoor valves not fully open, loose evaporator or condenser sensors and a blocked capillary or expansion valve.
When to call a service technician: Refrigerant work needs a technician with F-gas certification.

For technicians
Possible causes (source text)
- System cooling under high humidity environment, thus temperature difference of heat transfer is small[2]
- Big valve and small valve of outdoor unit not opened completely[3]
- Temperature sensor of evaporator of indoor unit loose[4]
- Temperature sensor of condenser of outdoor unit loose[5]
- Capillary or electronic expansion valve blocked[6]
- Refrigerant leaking[7]
What the device does (source text)
- Cool: compressor and outdoor fan stop, indoor fan operates; Heat: compressor, outdoor fan and indoor fan stop.[8]
