F12Pressure switch activate

Name in the manufacturer's documentation (service manual): Pressure switch activate[1]

In plain words (editorial)

The refrigerant pressure rose too high and the high-pressure safety switch tripped several times. The service manual's causes include poor heat transfer (dirty heat exchanger, blocked air flow) and too little water flow.

When to call a service technician: If it repeats, call the installer; refrigerant work needs an F-gas technician.
