COMPLAINT
CAUSE
REMEDY
Test capacitor.
Check the terminals. If loose, repair or replace.
Check the system for a restriction.
If restricted, clean of replace.
Close if open.
Determine if the unit is properly sized for the area to
be cooled.
Check the set screw or clamp. If loose or missing,
correct. If the blower or fan is hitting air guide,
rearrange the air handling parts.
Remove the cabinet and carefully rearrange tubing
not to contact cabinet, compressor, shroud, and
barrier.
Set the knob to HIGH COOL or LOW COOL while
rocker switch is ON.
Check terminals. If loose, repair or replace.
Check the synchronous motor for open circuit.

4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
In general, possible trouble is classified in two kinds.
The one is called Starting Failure which is caused from an electrical defect, and the other is Ineffective Air
Conditioning caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and improper application.
