Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting steps are listed in the following table. 
Turn off all power to the unit before conducting any 
troubleshooting procedures unless the procedure 

specifically requires the system to operate. Keep hands, 
clothing and tools clear of the electrical terminals and 
rotating components. Equipment located in the ceiling can 
pose unusual difficulties. Ensure that your footing is stable 
at all times.

Table 10. Troubleshooting methods 

Symptom

Probable Cause

Recommendation

Suction Pressure Too Low

a. Loss of refrigerant (excessive bubbles in
sight glass).

Locate and repair leak. Remove and clean or 
replace valve.

b. Expansion valve stuck or obstructed (short 
cycle or continuous running).

c. Clogged drier/strainer (feels cold).

Replace with new drier/strainer.

d. Dirty air filters.

Clean/replace filters.

Chilled Water Valve Fails to Open or Close

a. Temperature setpoint too high/low.

Adjust to correct temperature setting

b. No control power to the chilled water valve

Thermostat wired incorrectly. Check wiring
diagram and rewire if required.

c. Actuator failed.

Replace actuator.

Evaporator Coil Ices

Low airflow.

1.Check filters. Replace as needed.
2.Check for and clear any obstructions across or 
in the (supply) discharge air- stream.
3.Check correct rotation of evaporator blower

b.Temperature setting too low.

Increase temperature setpoint (68°F 
minimum.).

c.Discharge air short cycling back to return.

Check discharge grille orientation

d.Low refrigerant charge.

Find leak, repair and recharge system

Blower Fails to Start

a. Power failure.

Check main voltage power source input cable.

b. Control transformer circuit breaker tripped.

Check for short circuit or ground fault; if none, 
reset circuit breaker.

c. Defective contactor. Repair or replace.

Repair or replace.

d.Thermal overload tripped.

Reset overload and check amperage of motor. 
Compare to setting on overload and adjust to 
FLA. All direct-drive motors are internally 
protected and do not require overload reset.

Control is Erratic

Wiring improperly connected or broken.

Check wiring against electrical drawing.

Condenser Pressure Too High

a. Non-condensable gas or air in system.

Recover system and recharge. Replace
drier/strainer. Evacuate to 50 microns and 
recharge.

b. Condenser air intake is blocked

Remove debris and clean condenser.

c. Overcharge of refrigerant

Reclaim excess refrigerant from system.

d. Low water flow to water-cooled condenser

Reset-determine cause and fix.

e. Condenser fan not operating

Check pressure/temperature operating
switches and motor. Replace as needed.

f. Water/glycol temperature too high.

Check flow and operation of drycooler.

g. Condenser pressure regulating valve setting 
too high

Adjust to obtain correct pressure.

h. Flow of water/glycol too low

1.Check glycol solution level and concentration.
2.Valves not open or partially open. Repair/ 
replace as needed.
3.Air in system - bleed system.
4.Check all strainers and clean if needed.

i. Water/glycol solution not mixed prior to 
adding to syste

Remove solution and premix. Refill system.

Condenser Pressure Too Low

a. Loss of refrigerant (indicated bubbles in sight 
glass).

Locate and repair leak. Recharge 

b. Condenser fan controls not set.

Adjust or repair controls

c.Water regulating valve adjusted too low.

R407C - Readjust to 320 psig.
