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 

Control board’s default of 3 minutes
delay inoperative. Replace board.

Low or 

fl

 uctuating voltage 

 Check voltage with unit operating. Check for
 other appliances on circuit. Air conditioner  
 should be in a dedicated circuit with proper 
 voltage & fused separately 

Incorrect wiring 

 Refer to appropriate wiring diagram 

Shorted or incorrect capacitor 

 Test capacitor and replace as needed.

Restricted or low air 

fl

 ow through 

condenser coil or evaporator coil 

 Check for proper fan speed or blocked
 coils. Correct as needed. 

Compressor running abnormally 
hot

 Check for kinked discharge line or restricted
 condenser. Refrigerant overcharge.
Check amperage, connections.

Fan blade striking chassis 

 Reposition - adjust motor mount 

Compressor vibrating 

 Check that compressor grommets have not 
 deteriorated. Check that compressor mounting 
 parts are not missing 

Improperly mounted or loose
cabinet parts 

 Check assembly & parts for looseness,
