next step

3.  Replace if necessary

4.

Check Voltage at Control Board (24V and C)

4.  Check factory wiring and connections

5.

Replace Control Board

1.

Check Compressor internal overloads

1.  Wait for reset

2.

Check Control Power to Condensing Unit

2.  Check transformer voltage (secondary and

LED shows 

Coo, but

(24 Volts across “COMP” and “C” at board)

Go to

     primary) and wiring of 208V power taps.

compressor will not run.

3.

Check Compressor Contactor Coil Voltage

next step

3.  Check internal condensing unit wiring

4.

Check Compressor Contactor “pulled in”

4.  Replace as needed

Replace or remove

1.

Check Refrigerant Type

1.  Compare board setpoint and refrigerant

2.

Check coil for ice

2.  Defrost coil and check defrost cycle
     settings/setpoints, defrost sensor and
     heater amps.

  E6  Low Superheat

3.

Check Control Board step position from board LED

3.  Replace board if EEV steps not at 2.

        During Cooling

4.

Check Electric Expansion Valve Closure

Go to

4.  Pumpdown system see if LPS opens or if it

        (0

°

F for 2 minutes)

next step

     times out (EEV is bad or LPS is set
     incorrectly, if times out) – See Pumpdown.

5.

Compressor Not Operating

5.  Check overloads and contactor.

6.

Check Suction Temperature Sensor

6.  Compare board sensor reading against
     actual suction line temperature.

7.

Check Suction Pressure Transducer

7.  Compare pressure reading against gauges.
