Other Troubleshooting Issues
Issue
Possible Causes
Potential Solutions
No cooling: no refrigerant 
flow. 
 
If the "snowflake" icon is 
illuminated on the 
temperature display 
control, the liquid line 
solenoid should be 
energized and the 
compressor running. 
No power to liquid 
solenoid valve coil 
Power supply to Evaporator interrupted. Restore 
power. 
Power supply to solenoid coil interrupted: loose 
wire. Inspect for loose fan wiring and reconnect. 
Solenoid coil 
failure 
When the Evaporator is powered on and off, a 
distinct "click" should be heard indicating the 
opening/closing of the solenoid valve. If not, the 
solenoid coil may need to be replaced. Consult 
factory. 
No power to 
compressor 
Power supply to Condensing Unit interrupted. 
Restore power. 
Check for loose wires and reconnect.
Low pressure switch is open: make sure solenoid 
is energized and condensing unit service valves 
are open. Jumper out switch to check for a faulty 
switch, and replace if necessary. Note that in 
installations below 0°F this switch may remain 
open. Consult factory. 
High pressure switch is open: make sure 
condensing unit service valves are open. If this 
does not correct the problem, refer to the "High 
Pressure Safety Shutdown" section. 
High pressure 
safety shutdown / 
high discharge 
pressure 
Locate and correct source of high condensing 
head pressure: 
Refrigeration line blockage
Condenser fan not operating in ambient 
temperatures above 90°F. Ensure that there is 
power to the Condensing Unit and verify the fan 
cycling control settings. Replace condenser fan 
and fan cycling control if necessary.

pressure safety 
shutdown / high

pressure 
Insufficient ventilation: reference Condensing 
Unit installation guidelines for proper placement 
and ambient temperature requirements. Correct 
to ensure adequate air ventilation to and from the 
Condensing Unit. 
Improper refrigerant charge: inspect for over-
charged system or non-condensibles in system. 
Dirty or obstructed condenser coil: clean and 
remove all obstructions to airflow. 
Intermittent power 
to compressor 
Check for loose wires and secure.
Compressor cycling on internal thermal overload 
protection. Replace start capacitor/relay assembl 
Compressor cycling on high pressure - see "High 
pressure safety shutdown" section. 
Faulty compressor. Consult factory.
