Diagnostics

9.9 Service Analyzer Charts (cont.)

COMPRESSOR OVERHEATING - HIGH DISCHARGE TEMP (cont.)

SYMPTOM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

REMEDY

Short cycling of 

compressor (cont.)

Low charge

Check system charge.

Low evaporator airflow

Dirty coil.
Dirty filter.
Duct too small or restricted.

Faulty internal overload

Replace compressor.

ELECTRICAL

SYMPTOM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

REMEDY

Voltage present on

load side of inverter

and compressor 

won’t run

Communication failure from VSODC to inverter.

Check communications harness connectors and wire 

continuity.

Compressor windings

Check for correct ohms.

187 - 252VAC

present at input to

inverter

Thermostat

Check for control voltage to contactor coil.

Compressor control circuit

High-pressure switch.
Low-pressure cut-out.

Ambient thermostat.

Stater heat is active.
Compressor timed off/on control or interlock.

No voltage at input 

to inverter

Blown fuses or tripped circuit breaker

Check for short in wiring or unit.

Improper wiring

Recheck wiring diagram.

Improper voltage

High voltage

Wrong unit.

Power supply problem.

Low voltage

Wrong unit.

Power supply problem.

Wiring undersized.

Loose connections.

FLOODED STARTS

SYMPTOM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

REMEDY

Liquid in the com

-

pressor shell

Faulty stator heat circuit (compressor thermistor or 

single leg output to compressor)

Replace compressor thermistor.
Check inverter for single leg output power and correct wiring.

Too much liquid in 

system

Incorrect piping

Check piping guidelines.

Overcharge

Check and adjust charge.
