What it means
This operating indication means compressor frequency is being reduced by discharge-temperature protection. The unit is still operating but protecting itself from heat stress.
Urgency
Not an error
This is a normal status indication, not an error, unless comfort is poor or the indication never clears.
Likely causes
Homeowner fix
Clear outdoor airflow and clean filters. Call for service if it repeats or the system cannot satisfy the room.
When to call a pro
No technician is needed for this status by itself. Call for service only if comfort is poor, water is present, or the indication never clears after conditions change.
Repair vs replace
This is a normal operating status, not a repair-or-replace decision.
