If sludge is evident in the discharge line, it will likely be found in the 
suction line. This indicates the compressor burned out will running. 
Sludge and acid have been pumped throughout the system. Several 
changes of the liquid and suction filter/driers will probably be 
necessary to cleanse the system. 

5.  Correct the system fault that caused the burn out. Consult the 

factory for advice. 

6.  Install the replacement compressor with a new capacitor and 

an oversized liquid line filter. 

In a running burn out, install an oversized suction line filter/drier 
between the accumulator and compressor. Thoroughly flush the 
accumulator with refrigerant to remove all trapped sludge and to 
prevent the oil hole from becoming plugged. A standing burn out 
does not require a suction line filter/drier. 

7.  Evacuate the system with a good vacuum pump and accurate 

vacuum gauge. Leave the pump on the system for at least an 
hour. 

8.  Operate the system for a short period of time, monitoring the 

suction pressure to determine that the suction filter is not 
becoming plugged. Replace the suction filter/drier if pressure 
drop occurs. If a severe running burn out has occurred, several 
filter/driers may have to be replaced to remove all of the acid 
and moisture. 

NOTE: NEVER use the compressor to evacuate the system or any 
part of it. 

7.6C Replacing a Compressor, Nonburn Out 

Remove the refrigerant from the system. Replace the compressor 
and liquid line filter/drier. Charge the system to 50 PSIG and check 
for leaks. Remove the charge and weigh in the refrigerant quantity 
listed on the nameplate. Operate the system to verify performance. 

7.7 Remote Controls 

The UA-150H is controlled by devices mounted on a panel that is 
remote from the unit. You may or may not have the devices listed 
below depending on the model of the remote control panel you 
purchased. If the UA-150H fails to operate as desired, always check 
the settings of the controls to insure that they are correct. Check 
that the controls are receiving 24Vac from the UA-150H. Check the 
connections between the UA-150H, the control panel, and the field 
control wiring. 

7.7A Humidity Control 

The humidity control is an adjustable switch that closes when the 
relative humidity of the air in which it is located rises to the dial set 
point. It opens when the RH drops 4 to 6% below the set point. If the 
UA-150H does not run, try turning the humidity control clockwise 
until it reaches the stop and the knob pointer points at “Max Dry” 

(see back of control panel cover). ). If it still does not run, remove the 
stop screw from the panel and turn the knob farther. If it then runs, 
the humidity control is out of calibration or the RH is below 40%. 

The UA-150H is equipped with an automatic defrost mechanism. 
If the UA-150H operates in conditions that develop frost on the 
evaporator, it will sense the frost build-up and automatically defrost 
the evaporator. The UA-150H may not appear to be operating 
correctly during the defrost sequence, but once the defrost sequence 
is completed, the UA-150H will resume dehumidifying. 

7.7B Programmable Ventilation Timer 

The ventilation timer controls the impeller fan and the motorized 
fresh air damper. When the ventilation timer is activated, the UA-
150H will circulate the indoor air, and bring in fresh air from outside. 
The ventilation timer should be set for the required ventilation of 
the residence. The home should be ventilated with fresh air as 
suggested by applicable codes and standards. 

If the UA-150H fails to ventilate as expected, check that the time on 
the timer is correct. For the timer to carry out the program schedule, 
the slide switch in the upper left corner on the timer must be set to 
“AUTO”. The slide switch in the upper right corner of the UA-150H 
must be set to “RUN”. Also check the programs on the timer to be 
sure that the timer is calling for ventilation at the correct times. If 
the timer fails to operate or operates erratically, reset the timer; see 
section 4.5 of this manual. 

7.8 Defrost Thermostat 

The defrost thermostat is attached to the refrigerant suction tube 
between the accumulator and the compressor. It will automatically 
shut the compressor off if the low side refrigerant temperature drops 
due to excessive frost formation on the evaporator coil. The impeller 
fan will continue to run, causing air to flow through the evaporator 
coil and melt the ice. When the ice has melted, the evaporator 
temperature will rise and the thermostat will restart the compressor. 

7.9 Electric Ventilation Damper 

The electric ventilation damper is controlled by the ventilation timer. 
The damper will open when the ventilation timer is activated to 
allow fresh air into the structure through the 6” diameter fresh air 
inlet duct. The electric ventilation damper will remain closed when 
the ventilation timer is not activated to prevent over-ventilating the 
structure when the unit is dehumidifying or recirculating the indoor air. 

The electric ventilation timer operates on 24 Vac from the control 
circuit. DO NOT connect high voltage to the damper motor or 
damage to the motor may result. DO NOT force the blade of the 
damper by hand or damage to the damper motor may result. 

The damper opens in one direction only. The damper rotates very 
slowly, allow sufficient time for the damper to cycle. The damper will 
take approximately 1 minute to cycle from closed to open or from 
open to closed.
