TABLE 16—TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE—COOLING
SYMPTOM CAUSE REMEDY
Compressor and condenser fan
will not start.
Power Failure Call power company.
Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Defective thermostat, contactor, transformer, or control relay Replace component.
Insufficient line voltage Determine cause and correct.
Incorrect or faulty wiring Check wiring diagram and rewire correctly.
Thermostat setting too high Lower thermostat setting below room temperature.
Compressor will not
start but condenser
fan runs.
Faulty wiring or loose connections in compressor circuit Check wiring and repair or replace.
Compressor motor burned out, seized, or internal
overload open Determine cause
Replace compressor.
Defective run/start capacitor, overload, start relay Determine cause and replace.
One leg of 3-phase power dead
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Determine cause.
Three-phase scroll compressor
(582A048 and 583A030-060 only)
makes excessive noise, and there may
be a low pressure differential.
Scroll compressor is rotating in the wrong direction
Correct the direction of rotation by reversing the
3-phase power leads to the unit. Shut down unit
to allow pressures to equalize.
Compressor cycles (other than
normally satisfying thermostat).
Refrigerant overcharge or undercharge
Recover refrigerant, evacuate system, and recharge to
capacities shown on nameplate.
Defective compressor Replace and determine cause.
Insufficient line voltage Determine cause and correct.
Blocked condenser Determine cause and correct.
Defective run/start capacitor, overload or start relay Determine cause and replace.
Defective thermostat Replace thermostat.
Faulty condenser-fan motor or capacitor Replace.
Restriction in refrigerant system Locate restriction and remove.
Compressor operates continuously.
Dirty air filter Replace filter.
Unit undersized for load Decrease load or increase unit size.
Thermostat set too low Reset thermostat.
Low refrigerant charge Locate leak, repair, and recharge.
Leaking valves in compressor Replace compressor.
Air in system Recover refrigerant, evacuate system, and recharge.
Condenser coil dirty or restricted Clean coil or remove restriction .
Excessive head pressure.
Dirty air filter Replace filter.
Dirty condenser coil Clean coil.
Refrigerant overcharged Recover excess refrigerant.
Air in system Recover refrigerant, evacuate system, and recharge.
Condenser air restricted or air short-cycling Determine cause and correct.
Head pressure too low.
Low refrigerant charge Check for leaks, repair, and recharge.
Compressor valves leaking Replace compressor.
Restriction in liquid tube Remove restriction.
Excessive suction pressure.
High heat load Check for source and eliminate.
Compressor valves leaking Replace compressor.
Refrigerant overcharged Recover excess refrigerant.
Suction pressure too low.
Dirty air filter Replace Filter.
Low refrigerant charge Check for leaks, repair, and recharge.
Metering device or low side restricted Remove source of restriction.
Insufficient evaporator airflow Increase air quantity. Check filter — replace if necessary.
Temperature too low in conditioned area Reset thermostat.
Outdoor ambient below 40°F Install low-ambient kit .
Field-installed filter-drier restricted Replace.
