Q: Is it safe to run my mini-split with error U2?

No, running the unit with a high discharge temperature can damage the compressor. Turn off the system and address the issue immediately.

Q: How much does it cost to fix error U2?

If it's just a dirty filter or coil, it's free. If a sensor needs replacement, expect $50-$150 for the part. For refrigerant or compressor issues, professional repair may cost $200-$800.
