Table 19 — Troubleshooting
SYMPTOMS
CAUSE
REMEDY
COMPRESSOR DOES
NOT RUN
Power line open
Reset circuit breaker.
Control fuse open
Check control circuit for ground or short.
Replace fuse.
High-Pressure Switch (HPS)
tripped
Move LOCAL/ENABLE-STOP-CCN switch to STOP
position then back to RUN or CCN position.
Tripped power breaker
Check the controls. Find cause of trip
and reset breaker.
Loose terminal connection
Check connections.
Improperly wired controls
Check wiring and rewire.
Low line voltage
Check line voltage. Determine location
of voltage drop and remedy deficiency.
Compressor motor defective
Check motor winding for open or short.
Replace compressor if necessary.
Seized compressor
Replace compressor.
COMPRESSOR CYCLES OFF
ON LOW PRESSURE
Loss of charge
Repair leak and recharge.
Bad transducer
Replace transducer.
Low refrigerant charge
Add refrigerant.
COMPRESSOR SHUTS DOWN
ON HIGH PRESSURE
CONTROL
High-pressure control erratic in action
Replace control.
Compressor discharge valve partially closed
Open valve or replace if defective.
Condenser fan(s) not operating
Check wiring. Repair or replace motor(s)
if defective.
Condenser coil plugged or dirty
Clean coil.
UNIT OPERATES LONG OR
CONTINUOUSLY
Low refrigerant charge
Add refrigerant.
Control contacts fused
Replace control.
Partially plugged or plugged expansion
valve or filter driver
Clean or replace.
Defective insulation
Replace or repair.
Service load
Keep doors and windows closed.
Inefficient compressor
Check valves. Replace if necessary.
SYSTEM NOISES
Piping vibration
Support piping as required.
Expansion valve hissing
Add refrigerant.
Check for plugged liquid line filter drier.
Compressor noisy
Check valve plates for valve noise.
Replace compressor (worn bearings).
Check for loose compressor holddown bolts.
COMPRESSOR LOSES OIL
Leak in system
Repair leak.
Mechanical damage (blown piston or
broken discharge valve)
Repair damage or replace compressor.
Crankcase heaters not energized
during shutdown
Replace heaters, check wiring and
crankcase heater relay contacts.
FROSTED SUCTION LINE
Expansion valve admitting either too
much or too little refrigerant
Check cooler and compressor thermistors.
Test EXV.
HOT LIQUID LINE
Shortage of refrigerant due to leak
Repair leak and recharge.
FROSTED LIQUID LINE
Shutoff valve partially closed or restricted
Open valve or remove restriction.
COMPRESSOR DOES NOT
UNLOAD
Burned out coil
Replace coil.
Defective capacity control valve
Replace valve.
Miswired solenoid
Rewire correctly.
Weak, broken, or wrong valve body spring
Replace spring
COMPRESSOR DOES NOT
LOAD
Miswired solenoid
Rewire correctly.
Defective capacity control valve
Replace valve.
Plugged strainer (high side)
Clean or replace strainer.
Stuck or damaged unloader piston or
piston ring(s)
Clean or replace the necessary parts.
