Symptoms Cause  Remedy 

D.  Compressor starts and runs – 

short cycles on overload. 

 

1.  Low voltage, or phase unbalance. 
 
2.  Additional current going through 
 overload. 
 
3.  Overload protectors defective. 
4. Run 

capacitor 

weak. 

5.  High discharge pressure. 
6.  Short in winding. 
 
7.  Current relay sticking. 

1.  Check voltage to be within ±10% 

of voltage listed on name plate. 

2.  Check wiring diagram, check for 

added electrical devices 
connected thru protector. 

3.  Check current, replace. 
4.  Check capacitance, replace. 
5.  Refer to G 1-8. 
6.  Check resistance, replace 

compressor.

E.  Relay burned out.

 

1.  Low or high line voltage. 
 
2.  Incorrect running capacitor. 
3. Short 

cycling. 

4. Wrong 

relay. 

5. Incorrect 

mounting. 

1.  Check voltage to be within ±10% 

of voltage listed on name plate. 

2.  Replace with proper capacitance. 
3.  Refer to B and C. 
4.  Replace with proper relay. 
5.  Mount in correct, rigid position. 

F.  Capacitors burn out.

 

1. Improper 

capacitor. 

2.  High line voltage. 

1.  Replace with proper capacitor. 
2.  Lower voltage to not more than 

10% above rating. 

G.  Head pressure too high.

 

1. Refrigerant 

overcharge. 

2.  Air in system. 
3. Dirty 

condenser. 

4. Location 

too 

hot. 

 
5.  Defective condenser pressure 
 switch. 
6.  Defective fan motor. 
7.  Fan operating in wrong direction. 
8.  Defective water regulating valve. 

1.  Purge or vacuum and recharge. 
2.  Check for reason, repair. 
3.  Blow clean with compressed air. 
4.  Cool ambient, relocate unit, add 

ventilation. 

5.   Repair or replace. 
 
6. Replace. 
7.  Switch two wires at disconnect. 
8.  Adjust, repair or replace. 

H.  Head pressure too low.

 

1. Refrigerant 

shortage. 

2.  Compressor suction or discharge 
 valves 

inefficient. 

3.  Defective condenser pressure 
 switch. 
4.  Defective water regulating valve. 

1.  Repair leak and recharge. 
2.  Repair or replace. 
 
3.  Repair or replace. 
 
4.  Adjust, repair or replace. 

I. Noisy 

unit.

 

1. Mountings 

loose. 

2.  Bent fan blade. 
3.  Fan motor bearing worn. 
4.  Refrigerant flooding back. 
 
 
5.  Compressor oil charge low. 

1.  Tighten mounting, etc. 
2.  Straighten or replace blade. 
3. Replace. 
4.  Check expansion valve, adjust, 

repair or replace. Check 
crankcase heater. 

5.  Check oil level. 

J.  Frosted liquid line.

 

1.  High side service valve partially 
 

closed or restricted. 

2. Restricted 

filter/dryer. 

1.  Open valve or remove restriction. 
 
2. Replace. 

K.  Frosted suction line.

 

1.  Expansion valve and/or hot gas 
 

bypass out of adjustment. 

 

1.  Adjust the hot gas bypass valve to 

bring the suction pressure into the 
proper range. 

 

L.  Top condenser coils cool when 

unit in operation. 

1. Refrigerant 

shortage. 

2. Compressor 

inefficient. 

1.  Repair leak and recharge. 
2.  Repair or replace.
