GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING Malfunction Compressor will not Start – no hum Possible Cause Compressor will not start hums but trips on overload 2015JA0008 Solution Line disconnect switch open Overload protector tripped Control stuck in open position Control off due to cold location Wiring improper or loose Improper wiring Low Voltage Start capacitor defective Relay failed Compressor motor has a winding open Internal mechanical problem in the compressor Liquid refrigerant in compressor Check power from outlet. Unplug and plug in unit. Replace fuse Replace the Overload Repair or replace control Re-assure the control probe location Check wiring against diagram Check wiring against diagram Find out the reason & correct Replace the start failed capacitor Replace the failed relay Replace compressor Replace compressor Add crankcase heater and / or accumulator GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING Malfunction Compressor starts, but does not switch off of start winding Possible Cause Compressor starts and runs, but short cycles on the overload protector 2015JA0008 Solution Improper wiring Low voltage Relay failed Run capacitor failed Excessive high discharge temperature Compressor failed Excess current passing through overload Low / unstable voltage Overload failed Capacitor fault Excessive discharge Suction pressure too high Compressor overheating Compressor electrical fault Check wiring against diagram Find out the reason & correct Replace relay Replace capacitor Check for over charge or condenser blockage / condenser fan failure Replace compressor Check wiring diagram for wrong connections of electrical components Find out the reason & correct Replace overload Replace capacitor Check for over charge or condenser blockage / condenser fan failure Check refrigerant charge Replace compressor GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING Malfunction Possible Cause Solution Units runs OK, But short cycles Overload protection Thermostat Check the wiring Replace the overload Change the thermostat setting if required Unit operates long Less refrigerant Probe location Excessive load Evaporator coil iced up Restriction in refrigeration system Condenser is dirty or blocked Filter is dirty Fix leak & add charge Correct the probe location Replace with larger system Defrost Determine location and clean Clean condenser Clean / Replace filter Control setting at warm Inadequate air circulation Reset the controller setting to colder Improve air movement Warm temperature 2015JA0008 GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Cause Solution Blowing Fuse Power cord is cut and grounding out Defective Compressor Defective Overload High Voltage Low Voltage Replace power cord Replace compressor Replace overload Correct voltage condition Ensure cooler plugged into dedicated supply with properly sized circuit. (Correct voltage condition) Determine reason or replace if required Correct the charge Suction line frosted Leaking Water 2015JA0008 Evaporator fan not working Overcharged system Very Humid Conditions Blocked Drain Door not sealed properly / Top door seal Clear blocked drains?? Repair/Replace door gaskets, realign/seal doors. GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Evaporator Freeze Up Controller miscommunication 2015JA0008 Possible Cause Solution Temperature Controller set too cold Blocked/Restricted Air Flow Defective Evap Motor/ Running at low speed Blocked Drain Low refrigerant charge Open Door or door not sealed properly Defective or open gasket on Cooling Deck Deck not in locked position Adjust to higher temperature setting (lower number) Remove source of blockage Replace Evap Motor Internal controller failure Voltage spike Replace Controller & Probe Clear blocked drain Repair/Recharge system Repair/Seal air leaks Replace defective or damaged gasket Lock deck in position and secure with locking bar
