Condition
Possible Causes
Verification
Solution
Noisy compressor
Liquid returning to compressor
Replace compressor
Compressor failure
Fan will not run
Fan relay failure
Replace fan relay
Fan motor failure
Replace fan motor
Compressor runs - no heating/
cooling
No refrigerant charge
Check for leaks
Add appropriate refrigerant
Damaged heat exchanger
Check for glycol/water leaks
and/or refrigerant leaks
Replace heat exchanger
Compressor failure
Replace compressor
Low outlet glycol/water tempera-
ture in cooling
Improper temperature control
setting
Check cooling temperature
setpoint and differential
Contact Technical Support for
instructions to reset cooling
setpoints
No load/rapid temperature drop
Ensure compressors are al-
lowed to run a minimum of three
minutes before reaching desired
temperature
Verify cooling fuction when there
is sufficient heat load to allow
continuous operation.
Low outlet glycol/water tempera-
ture in heating
Dirty coil, damaged or improperly
operating fans
Visually inspect coil condition and
fan operation
Clean coil, repair fan blade or
motor as necessary.
Extremely low ambient tempera-
ture
Heating performance falls con-
siderable as temperatures drop
below 20-25°F
Install supplemental heating for
extreme low ambient conditions.
Low glycol/water flow
Damaged or blocked plumbing or
air handler
Check for blockage and/or air in
piping, check operation/condition
of water pump
Clean strainer screen
Clear blockage
Remove air in piping
Defective or improper pump
Verify pump operation/condition.
Measure water flow through the
heat exchanger
Replace or re-size pump to
obtain a minimum of 11 GPM for
SCM060 or 8 GPM for SCM036
