Compressor runs

  

for short periods

  

only. Cycles on 

overload

Overload inoperative. Opens too

soon

 Check operation of unit. Replace overload if
 system operation is satisfactory 

Compressor restarted before 
system pressures equalized 

 

Allow a minimum of 2 minutes to allow 

 pressures to equalize before attempting to 
 restart. Instruct customer of waiting period 

Low or 

 

uctuating voltage 

 Check voltage with unit operating. Check for
 other appliances on circuit. Air conditioner  
 should be in separate circuit for proper voltage

  

 & fused separately 

Incorrect wiring 

 Refer to appropriate wiring diagram 

Shorted or incorrect capacitor 

 Check by substituting a known good capacitor

  

 of correct rating 

Restricted or low air 

 

ow through 

condenser coil or evaporator coil 

 Check for proper fan speed or blocked
 coils 

Compressor running abnormally 

hot

 Check for kinked discharge line or restricted
 condenser. Check amperage

 unit operates. If unit operates, replace t-stat. 

Loose or broken parts in t-stat 

 Check as above 

Incorrect wiring
