Troubleshooting – Refrigerant Compressor

Webasto Product N.A., Inc.

Never reset a breaker or replace a fuse 
without first checking for a ground fault (a 
short circuit to ground).

An open fuse or tripped circuit breaker is a strong 
indication of a ground fault.  To check for a ground 
fault, use the procedure outlined in “Identifying 
Compressor Electrical Problems” on page 31.

Be alert for sounds of arcing (sizzling, 
sputtering or popping) inside the compressor.  
If you hear these sounds, IMMEDIATELY move 
away from the area of the compressor.

Disconnect power before servicing.

Always disconnect power before servicing, unless 
it is required for a specific troubleshooting 
technique.  In these situations, use extreme 
caution to avoid electric shock.

Refrigerants and Other Chemicals

Contact with refrigerant, mixtures of refrigerant and oil, 
or other chemicals can cause a variety of injuries 
including burns and frostbite.  For example, if refrigerant 
contacts skin or eyes it can cause severe frostbite.  Also, 
in the event of a compressor motor failure, some 
refrigerant and oil mixtures can be acidic and cause 
chemical burns.

To avoid injury, wear appropriate protective eye wear, 
gloves, and clothing when servicing an air conditioning 
or refrigeration system.  Refer to your refrigerant supplier 
for more information.

If refrigerant or mixtures of refrigerant and oil come in 
contact with skin or eyes, flush the exposed area with 
water and get medical attention immediately.

6.2.7

Compressor Removal

Failure to properly remove the compressor can result in 
serious injury or death from electrocution, fire or sudden 
release of refrigerant and oil.

Follow these precautions when removing a compressor 
from a system:

Disconnect ALL electrical power.

Disconnect all electrical power supplies to the 
system, making sure that all power legs are open.  
(NOTE:  The system may have more than one 
power supply.)

Be sure refrigerant is recovered using the 
appropriate equipment before removing 
compressor.

Attempting to remove the compressor before 
removing all refrigerant from the system can cause 
a sudden release of refrigerant and oil.
Among other things, this can:

Cause a variety of injuries including burns and 
frost bite.

Expose service personnel to toxic gas.

To avoid serious injury or death, be sure to remove and 
recover all refrigerant before removing the compressor.
