14. Troubleshooting Guide
14.1 Refrigeration cycle system
In order to diagnose malfunctions, make sure that there are no
electrical problems before inspecting the refrigeration cycle. Such
problems include insufficient insulation, problem with the power
source, malfunction of a compressor and a fan. The normal outlet
air temperature and pressure of the refrigeration cycle depends on
various conditions, the standard values for them are shown in the
table on the right.
