In order to diagnose malfunctions, make sure that there are no
electrical problems before inspecting the refrigeration cycle.
Such problems include insufficient insulation, problem with the
power source, malfunction of a compressor and a fan.
The normal outlet air temperature and pressure of the
refrigeration cycle depends on various conditions, the standard
values for them are shown in the table on the right.

• Carry out the measurements of pressure, electric current, and temperature fifteen minutes after an operation is started.

Nature of fault

Symptom

Insufficient compressing of a compressor

• Electric current during operation becomes approximately 20% lower than the normal value.

• The discharge tube of the compressor becomes abnormally hot (normally 70 to 90°C).

• The difference between high pressure and low pressure becomes almost zero.

Locker compressor

• Electric current reaches a high level abnormally, and the value exceeds the limit of an

ammeter. In some cases, a breaker turns off.

• The compressor has a humming sound.

Insufficient switches of the 4-way valve

• Electric current during operation becomes approximately 80% lower than the normal value.

• The temperature different between from the discharge tube to the 4-way valve and from

suction tube to the 4-way valve becomes almost zero.

• Cautions! When handling electronic controller, be careful of electrostatic discharge.
• Be sure to return the wiring to its original position.
• There are many high voltage components within the heat sink cover so never touch the interior during operation. Wait at least two minutes after

power has been turned off.
