TROUBLESHOOTING 

 
On the next pages you will find a list of the most common causes that may cause the chilling unit to fail or 
malfunction. These causes are broken down according to easily identifiable symptoms.

 

 
 

You should be extremely careful when attempting to implement any of the possible 
remedies suggested: overconfidence can result in injuries, even serious ones, to 
inexpert individuals. Therefore, once the cause has been identified, you are advised to 
contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for help.

 

 

FAULT 

 

Possible causes 

Corrective actions 

The unit does not start 

No power supply 

Check that power is being supplied 
both to the primary and auxiliary 
circuits. 
 

 

The electronic card is cut off from 
the power supply 

Check the fuses 

 

Alarms have been triggered 

Check whether any alarms are 
signalled on the microprocessor 
control panel, eliminate the causes 
and restart the unit. 

 

The phase sequence is wrong 

Invert two phases in the primary 
power line after disconnecting 
them upstream from the unit 

 

 

 

The compressor is noisy 

The compressor is rotating in the 
wrong direction 

Check the phase sequence relay. 
Invert the phases on the terminal 
board after disconnecting the unit 
and contact the manufacturer. 

 
 

 

 

Presence of abnormally high 
pressure 

Insufficient flow of water to the 
condenser 

Check for any clogging in the 
water circuit. 

  Check 

the 

compressor 

inlet 

water 

  Check 

the 

condensation 

control 

device [optional] 

 

 

 

 

Presence of air in the refrigerant 
circuit, as revealed by the 
presence of bubbles in the flow 
indicator also with undercooling 
values exceeding 5 °C 

Drain and pressurise the circuit 
and check for leaks. Evacuate 
slowly [for more than 3 hours until 
reaching a pressure of 0.1 mBar 
and then recharge in the liquid 
phase
