2.20 Compressor Diagnostics
The following diagnostics measures have to to considered before a
compressor is exchanged.
Complaint
Tests
Default
Action
Faulty temperature
(too cold / too
warm, fluctuations
of temperature)
No change of compressor, check
refrigeration cycle, logger measurement
Complaint
Tests
Default
Action
No cooling power.
Compressor does
not run.
Check the plug connections
at the compressor
connection.
Check the wiring
Wiring diagram
Check the voltage at the
compressor connection.
Mains voltage (198 – 254 V)
Measure the resistance of the
auxiliary winding and the
main winding.
Technical data in Quickfinder. The resistance
of a cold compressor is between 5-100 Ohm
according to the compressor size and the
manufacturer. Wait until the appliance is
switched on again in case of an inside
winding shield switch (Danfoss). Attention:
Goldstar compressors have another PIN-
assignment.
In case of a short circuit or interruption of
the windings – change of compressor.
Measure the insulation
resistance of the auxiliary
winding and the main
winding.
According to DIN VDE 0701
If the winding has an electric connection to
the housing - change of compressor
Measure the current
consumption
In the area from 0,5 to 1,2 A
