4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 

In general, possible trouble is classified in two kinds. 
The one is called Starting Failure which is caused by an electrical defect. The other is Ineffective Air Con-
ditioning 
caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and improper application.  

Unit is running but cooling is ineffective. 

Ineffective Cooling 

Satisfactory operation

with temperature 

difference of inlet & outlet

air; 55~59°F (13~15°C) 

Replacement of unit if 

the unit is beyond repair. 

Check outdoor coil 

(heat exchanger) and

fan operation. 

Check heat load 

increase. 

Check cold air 

circulation for smooth 

flow. 

Check gas leakage.  

Clean condenser. 

Not on separate circuit 

Check inside gas 

pressure. 

Adjust refrigerant 

charge. 

Malfunction of 

compressor. 

Replacement of 

compressor. 

Check clogging in refrigera-

tion circuit. 

Repair clogging in 

refrigeration circuit. 

Dirty indoor coil 

(heat exchanger) 

Repair gas leak. 

Malfunction of fan.  

Clogging of air filter. 

Obstruction at air outlet. 

Remove obstruction.
