Symptoms and Solutions

This section lists the most common troubleshooting
symptoms and the closest potential solution for each.
This is not an exhaustive listing of all potential causes
or resolutions, but represents the best direction in
which to initiate a solution.

otte

e:: An anti-short cycle timer is included in the

primary microprocessor controller to prevent the
compressors from starting until the delay has
elapsed. The microprocessor also provides
minimum compressor run timers. Take these
fixed timer parameters into consideration when
conducting a fault isolation process.

1. Symptom: Compressor will not start

Possible Causes

Potential Solutions

Circuit breakers are in the OFF position

Moves circuit breakers to the ON position in the power distribution
panel

Temperature control not in demand

Set point has been reached or still within band

Differential pressure switch open due condenser flow switch open

Condenser side loss of flow; clean strainer

Refrigerant low pressure switch open

Low refrigerant level or low pressure event has occurred four times
and locked out the circuit

High pressure switch open

Low flow rate; check for dirty or clogged strainer. Requires a manual
reset

Flow switch defective

Replace FS-1 and FS-2 switch

Compressor overload opened

Allow motor to cool and reset; high amp load/floodback; loose
connection, or low refrigerant charge

No high voltage power to contactor

Check breakers; energize from power distribution panel and module
electrical panel; check ON/OFF button in touchscreen interface

Phase monitor open or tripped

Over or under 4% to 8%; loss of leg

2. Symptom: Compressor will not run

Possible Causes

Potential Solutions

Compressor not powered

Assure all circuit breakers are in the ON position

Circuit breakers open

Check circuits and motor winding for shorts or grounds

Tripped circuit breaker

Reset breakers after fault is corrected

Investigate for possible overloading

Overloads are auto-reset. Monitor to assure the overload does not re-
occur

Electrical overamp breaker tripped

Repair or replace

Defective contactor or coil

Determine type and cause. Correct fault before replacing parts.

System shut down by safety devices

Repair, replace, or correct safety issue (for example, no flow, low
pressure)

Liquid line solenoid will not open

Check coil for open circuit, short circuit, or burnout. Replace coil or
entire valve, if needed

Motor electrical trouble

Replace tandem compressors

3. Symptom: Compressor has excessive noise or vibration

Possible Causes

Potential Solutions

Flooding of refrigerant into crankcase

Low fluid flow across heat exchanger; clogged strainer. Check setting
of expansion valve

Improper discharge piping support

Repair as necessary. Relocate, add, or remove supports

Improper or worn compressor supports

Replace supports

Worn compressor

Replace tandem compressors
