4.4.2.1 Diagnosis of compressor failure
A. On condition that the unit can be started up
Step 1:
If the unit can be started up, then start it up to check the current of the faulted compressor. Use a pressure
gauge to measure the pressure of the big and small valves. Connect with a computer to monitor the data. Refer
to the following table based on the recommended working current. The electric current of an inverter compressor
will be different under different rotation speed or different working conditions. If the compressor is working at
60Hz, the working current corresponding to different condensing temperature and evaporating temperature is
shown below:

Step 2:
Judge whether the operating noise of the compressor is normal, and whether there is a sharp noise or
obvious scraping. If there is a normal compressor working nearby, compare their operating noise.
Step 3:
Examine whether the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit is active and whether the 4-way valve
works or not. How to examine:
(1) Electronic expansion valve:
The electronic expansion valve will be reset every time when the unit is powered on or off. Touch the valve
