SYMPTOM
Compressor and outdoor fan
will not start
Compressor will not start but condenser fan
fulls
Three-phase scroll compressor (size 030-
060 units) may be a low pressure differential
Compressor cycles (other than normally
satisfying thermostat)
Compressor operates continuously
Excess_ehead pressure

Table 7--Troubleshooting Chart
CAUSE
Power Failure
Fuse ffiown or circuit breaker tnpped
Defective thermostat, contacfor, transformer,
control relay, defrost board, or high pressure or loss-
of-charge/low pressure switch
thsuffic_ent line voffage
Incorrect or faulty wiring
Thermostat setting too high
Units have a 5-minute time delay
Faulty wiring or loose connections in compressor
cttcuff
Compressor motor burned out, seized, or
internal ovedoad open
Defective run capacitor, overload, or PTC
(positive temperature coefficient) thermistor
REMEDY
Call power company
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker
Replace component
Determine cause and correct
Check widng diagram and rewire correctly
Lower thermostat setting below room
temperature
CO NO]- bypass this compressor time
detey-wait for 5 minutes until time-delay
relay is deenergized
Check winng and repair or replace
Determine cause.
Replace compressor
Determine cause and replace
