5.3 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

In general, possible trouble is classified in two causes.
The one is Starting Failure which is caused from an electrical defect, and the other is Ineffective Air Conditioning
caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and improper application.

Unit is running but cooling is ineffective

Ineffective Cooling

Check of outdoor coil
(heat exchanger) & the fan
operation.

Check gas leakage.

Repair gas leak.

Replacement of unit if the
unit is beyond repair.

Satisfactory operation with
temperature difference of
inlet & outlet air 44.6~50˚ F
(7~10˚ C)

Check heat load increase.

Unexpected residue

Overloaded Circuit

Check of inside gas
pressure.

Adjusting of refrigerant
charge

Malfunction of compressor

Replacement of
compressor

Check of cold air circulation
for smooth flow.

Dirty indoor coil
(Heat exchanger)

Malfunction of fan

Clogged of air filter

Obstruction at air outlet

Correct above trouble

Check clogging in
refrigeration circuit.

Repair clogging in
refrigeration circuit.
