SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Troubleshooting
COMPLAINT POSSIBLE CAUSE REPAIR
1. Cabinet not operating - lights
etc not going.
Loss of power supply.
High pressure switch cut-out, due to over
heating.
Check power supply.
Check, and clean condenser. Check unit
operation, and reset pressure switch (see p.7).
2. Compressor will not start - no
hum.
Fuse removed or blown. No power.
Overload protector tripped.
Thermostat stuck in open position.
Thermostat o, due to cold location.
Wiring improper, or loose.
Replace fuse. Check reason.
Refer to electrical section.
Repair or replace control.
Relocate control.
Check wiring against diagram.
3. Compressor will not start -
hums but trips on overload
protector.
Improperly wired.
Low voltage to unit.
Start capacitor defective on CSIR or CSR motor.
Run capacitor defective on PSC motor.
Relay failing to close.
Compressor motor has a winding open or
shorted.
Internal mechanical trouble in com¬pressor.
Check wiring against diagram.
Determine reason and correct.
Determine reason and replace.
Determine reason and replace.
Determine reason and correct. Replace if
necessary.
Check resistance values. Replace compressor if
neces¬sary.
Replace compressor.
4. Compressor starts, but does
not switch o- startswinding.
Improperly wired.
Low voltage to unit.
Relay failing to open, due to welded contacts or
relay incorrectly mounted.
Run capacitor defective on CSR motor.
Excessively high discharge pres¬sure.
Compressor motor has winding open or shorted.
Check continuity and resistance.
Internal mechanical trouble in com¬pressor
(tight). May be lubrication.
Check wiring against diagram.
Determine reason and correct.
Determine reason and correct. Replace if
necessary.
Determine reason and replace.
Clean condenser. Check power input. Possible
overcharge, insucient condenser cooling, or
non-condensible gasses.
Replace compressor if faulty.
Replace compressor.
5. Compressor starts and runs,
butshort cycles on overload
protector (relay may chatter on
RSIR, CSIR and CSR motors).
Additional current passing through overload
protector.
Low voltage to unit.
Overload protector defective.
Run capacitor defective on CSR motor.
Excessive discharge pressure.
Suction pressure too high.
Compressor too hot - insucient suction gas
cooling.
Comp’r motor has a winding shorted.
Check wiring diagram. Check for added
fan motors etc., connected to wrong side of
protector.
Determine reason and correct.
Check current, replace protector.
Determine reason and replace.
Check condenser, check ventilation, check for
restrictions in refrigeration system.
Check for possibility of misapplication.
Check refrigerant charge (x leak), add if
necessary. Check return vapour temperature
and suction superheat.
Replace compressor.
