Problem
Possible Cause
Checks and Corrections
Entire unit
does not run
Power Supply Off
Apply power, close disconnect
Blown Fuse
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Check for correct fuses
Voltage Supply Low
If voltage is below minimum voltage specified on unit data plate,
contact local power company.
Thermostat
Set the fan to “ON”, the fan should run. Set thermostat to “COOL” and
lowest temperature setting, the unit should run in the cooling mode
(reversing valve energized). Set unit to “HEAT” and the highest tempera-
ture setting, the unit should run in the heating mode. If neither the blower
or compressor run in all three cases, the thermostat could be miswired or
faulty.To ensure miswired or faulty thermostat verify 24 volts is available
on the condensing section low voltage terminal strip between “R” and
“C”, “Y” and “C”, and “O” and “C”. If the blower does not operate, verify
24 volts between terminals “G” and “C” in the air handler. Replace the
thermostat if defective.
Blower
operates but
compressor
does not
Thermostat
Check setting, calibration, and wiring
Wiring
Check for loose or broken wires at compressor, capacitor, or contactor.
Safety Controls
Check UPM board red default L.E.D. for Blink Code
Compressor
overload open
If the compressor is cool and the overload will not reset, replace compres-
sor.
Compressor motor
grounded
Internal winding grounded to the compressor shell. Replace compressor.
If compressor burnout, install suction filter dryer.
Compressor
windings Open
After compressor has cooled, check continuity of the compressor
windings. If the windings are open, replace the compressor
Unit off on
high pressure
control
Discharge pressure
too high
In “COOLING” mode: Lack of or inadequate water flow. Entering water
temperature is too warm. Scaled or plugged condenser.
In “HEATING” mode: Lack of or inadequate air flow. Blower inoperative,
clogged filter or restrictions in duct work
Refrigerant charge
The unit is overcharged with refrigerant. Reclaim refrigerant, evacuate
and recharge with factor recommended charge.
High pressure
Check for defective or improperly calibrated high pressure switch.
Unit off on
low pressure
control
Suction pressure
too low
In “COOLING” mode: Lack of or inadequate air flow. Entering
air temperature is too cold. Blower inoperative, clogged filter or
restrictions in duct work
In “HEATING” mode: Lack of or inadequate water flow. Entering water
temperature is too cold. Scaled or plugged condenser.
Refrigerant charge
The unit is low on refrigerant. Check for refrigerant leak, repair,
evacuate and recharge with factory recommended charge.
Low pressure
switch
Check for defective or improperly calibrated low pressure switch.
Unit short
cycles
Unit oversized
Recalculate heating and or cooling loads.
Thermostat
Thermostat installed near a supply air grill; relocate thermostat.
Readjust heat anticipator.
Wiring and controls Check for defective or improperly calibrated low pressure switch.
