Heating capillary tube partially
restricted
Check for partially starved outer coil. Replace
heating capillary tube
Check valve leaking internally
Switch unit several times from heating to
cooling. Check temperature rise across
coil. Refer to specifi cation sheet for correct
temperature rise
Reversing valve failing to shift
completely; bypassing hot gas
Denergize solenoid coil, raise head pressure,
energize solenoid to break loose. If valve fails
to make complete shift, replace valve.
