Troubleshooting 

 

“Compressor and fan are not running.”

 

Ensure the power cord is connected. Check if the user supplied GFCI circuit is tripped. Reset as necessary 

 

“The fan is running but the compressor is not”

 

Inspect the compressor and capacitor wiring and connections. 

 

“The compressor and fan are running, but there are no bubbles coming out of any diffusers”

 

Check for leaks in line connections and at the compressor. Check connections for tightness. 

 

“The compressor and fan are running. There are bubbles coming out of some diffusers, but not all of them.”

 

The valves in the cabinet may need to be balanced. There may be a clogged diffuser that needs to be cleared. 

The compressor may be due for a rebuild. 

 

“The compressor stops and restarts” 

 

Ensure the fan is working properly. Capacitor may need replacement. 

 

Please contact Kasco or your distributor if problems persist
