Troubleshooting Guide Troubleshooting Guide Piping System CONDENSER COIL FAN CAPILLARY TUBE MOTOR COMPRESSOR BLOWER EVAPORATOR COIL Figure 32 is a brief description of the important components and their function in what is called the refrigeration system. This will help you to understand the refrigeration cycle and the flow of the refrigerant in the cooling cycle.
Troubleshooting Guide Troubleshooting Guide In general, possible trouble is classified in two kinds. The one is called Starting Failure which is caused from an electrical defect, and the other is ineffective Air Conditioning caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and improper application. Unit runs but poor cooling. Ineffective Cooling Check cold air circulation for smooth flow. Check outdoor coil (heat exchanger) & the fan operation. Dirty indoor coil (Heat exchanger) Check gas leakage.
Troubleshooting Guide Fails to Start Check of power source. Check circuit breaker and fuse. Check of control switch setting. Gas leakage of feeler bulb of thermostat Check of control switch. Compressor only fails to start. Fan only fails to start. Improper wiring. Drop of power voltage. Improper thermostat setting. Defect of fan motor capacitor. Defect of compressor capacitor. Loose terminal connection. Capacitor check. Irregular motor resistance ( ). Irregular motor insulation ( ).
Troubleshooting Guide Room Air Conditioner Voltage Limits NAME PLATE RATING 208~230±10% 115±10% COMPLAINT Fan motor will not run. MINIMUM 187V 104V CAUSE MAXIMUM 253V 126V REMEDY No power Check voltage at outlet. Correct if necessary. Power supply cord Check voltage to rotary switch. If none, check power supply cord. Replace cord if circuit is open. Rotary switch Check switch continuity. Refer to wiring diagram for terminal identification. Replace switch if defective.
Troubleshooting Guide COMPLAINT Compressor will not run, but fan motor runs. Compressor cycles on overload. Compressor cycles on overload. Compressor cycles on overload. Insufficient cooling or heating Excessive noise Auto air-swing fails. CAUSE REMEDY Thermostat Check the position of knob If not at the coldest setting, advance the knob to this setting and restart unit. Check continuity of the thermostat. Replace thermostat if circuit is open. Capacitor (Discharge capacitor before servicing.
