d. Adjust.
a. See No. 1.
b. Open heat valve or turn on heating system.
c. Replace.
d. Tighten.

a. Adjust fan position on motor shaft or reposition fan motor
bracket assembly.
b. Lubricate with SAE No. 10 or replace motor.
c. Align blower assembly and tighten nuts.
d. Noise will disappear after equipment runs awhile.
e. Make necessary adjustments to components.
f.
Check for proper adjustment. Apply silicone oil or grease to
gap between solenoid and armature.
g. Tighten.
h. Fasten securely.
i.
Adjust by bending or applying tape.
j.
Occasionally equipment will have noisy operation for no ap-
parent reason. Inspection has revealed no loose components
that might be the source of the noise. Due to the action of the
compressor, it is possible to have internal noise develop if the
refrigerant tubing has become bent even slightly. To distin-
guish this condition from the simple rattle producing vibration
caused by loose screws, nuts and other components, grasp
the refrigerant tubing at various points throughout the system
until a point is found where the noise is eliminated or reduced.
Bend the copper tubing very gently until the noise disap-
pears.
k. Tighten.
a. Contact building management.
b. Check power supply line fuses, circuit breakers. Blown fuses
would indicate circuit overloading, a short circuit, or a grounded
condition in the circuit.
c. Replace.
d. Replace wire or tighten.
e. Adjust rotate knob to “Warm.”
f.
Replace.
g. Replace.
h.
1) Temporary lock valve open; replace.
2) Replace.
Troubleshooting Chart
These items should be checked by a qualified service techician only.
Notes: This guide was prepared with standard equipment in mind. If equipment is special, it may not be entirely applicable.
* If equipment is still in warranty.
** Note: Before trying to correct the noise, determine its cause: conditioned air blower, compressor or condenser blower. Operate the conditioned air blowers only.
If this doesn’t cause the noise, operate on cooling. Then disconnect one compressor lead. If the noise stops, the compressor is the source. If not, it is caused by
the condenser blower.
