Issue
Possible Causes
Potential Solutions
No cooling: Evaporator 
fan not blowing. 
 
If the "fan" icon is 
illuminated on the 
temperature display 
control, the fan should be 
blowing air. 
No power to fan
Power supply to Evaporator interrupted. Restore 
power. 
Power supply to fan interrupted: loose wire. 
Inspect for loose fan wiring and reconnect. 
Fan obstructed
With power to unit disconnected, check the 
rotation of the blower fan. If fan does not spin 
freely, inspect for and remove obstructions. If no 
obstructions are found, the fan may need to be 
replaced. Consult factory. 
Fan running but 
not drawing air 
through coil. 
Fan short cycling: Make sure all housing panels 
are attached to the unit. Replace missing panels. 
Coil is blocked with ice. Refer to the "Iced coil" 
section. 
Iced coil
Insufficient number 
of defrosts 
Turn system off and melt ice from coil. Decrease 
the defrost interval from the default value of 16 
hours by changing second level parameter "idF" 
to a minimum setting of 4 hours. If this corrects 
the problem, optimize the defrost frequency by 
setting and observing the system at different set 
points above “4” and below “16” to ensure the 
system is configured for maximum run time. 
Low refrigerant 
charge 
System charged incorrectly. Review process and 
correct. 
Leak in system. Find and repair leak, recharge 
system. 
Mal-functioning 
thermostatic 
expansion valve. 
Incorrect superheat setting: determine superheat 
and adjust. If expansion valve is faulty, replace. 
Expansion valve bulb not located correctly - 
review installation instructions and correct. 
Liquid flashing at the expansion valve inlet. See 
"High liquid line pressure drop" section. 
No airflow
See "Evaporator fan not blowing" section
Insufficient liquid sub-
cooling 
Low refrigerant 
charge 
System charged incorrectly. Review process and 
correct. 
Leak in system. Find and repair leak, recharge 
system. 
High liquid line 
pressure drop 
Check for plugged filter drier and replace if 
necessary. 
Inspect pipe routing for proper piping practices 
and correct. 
Liquid line picking up too much ambient heat - 
may need to insulate.
