Troubleshooting – Unit

Always have a completed Pre-Start-Up Checklist and Start-Up Checklist prior to requesting parts or service information.

Symptom

Possible Cause

Corrective Action

Blower fails 
to operate

Blown fuse or open circuit breaker.

Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker and check amps.

Defective motor or capacitor.

Replace.

Motor overloaded.

Reset VFD and check amps.

Electrical.

Check for On/Off switches. Check for correct supply 
voltage. Check Control wiring.

Motor 
starters 
“chatter” or 
do not pull in

Control power (24 VAC) wiring run is too 
long. (Resistance should not  
exceed 0.75 ohms).

Shorten wiring run to mechanical room or install a relay 
to turn unit on/off. Consult factory for relay information. 
Increase wire gauge size so that resistance is 0.75 ohms 
or less.

Incoming supply power is less than 
anticipated. Voltage supplied to starter 
coil must be 10% / -15% of 
nominal voltage stated on the coil.

Need to increase supply power or use a special control 
transformer which is sized for the actual supply power.

Motor over 
amps

Static pressures are higher than design.

Check for dirty filters. Improve ductwork.

Motor voltage incorrect.

Check motor wiring. Check motor nameplate versus 
supplied voltage.

Motor horsepower too low.

See specifications and catalog for fan curves to 
determine if horsepower is sufficient.

Shorted windings in motor.

Replace motor.

Low airflow 
(cfm)

Unit damper not fully open.

Adjust damper linkage or replace damper motor.

System static pressure too high.

Improve ductwork to eliminate losses using good duct 
practices.

Blower speed too low.

Check maximum motor RPM and compare with catalog 
data. Verify that external control wiring is in place if 
required.

Fan wheels are operating backwards.

For 3-phase, see Direction of Fan Wheel Rotation 
Direction in Start-Up, Components section.

Dirty filter.

Replace filters or follow cleaning procedures in Routine 
Maintenance section of this manual.

Leaks in ductwork.

Repair.

Elbows or other obstructions may be 
obstructing fan outlet.

Correct or improve ductwork. 

High airflow 
(cfm)

Blower fan speed too high.

Check for correct maximum fan RPM. Decrease 
maximum fan speed if necessary in the VFD.

Filter(s) not in place.

Install filters.

Insufficient static pressure (Ps).  
(airflow resistance)

Induce Ps into system ductwork. Make sure grilles 
and access doors are installed. Decrease fan speed if 
necessary.

Excessive 
noise or 
vibration

Fan wheel rubbing on inlet.

Adjust wheel and/or inlet cone. Tighten wheel hub or 
bearing collars on shaft.

Bearings.

Replace defective bearing(s). Lubricate bearings. Tighten 
collars and fasteners.

Loose wheel on shaft.

Tighten wheel hub.

Motor base or blower loose.

Tighten mounting bolts.

Noise being transmitted by duct.

Make sure ductwork is supported properly. Make sure 
ductwork metal thickness is sized for proper stiffness. 
Check duct size at discharge to ensure that air velocities 
are not too high.
