Panasonic CS-MA75KE / CS-MA95KE / CS-MA125KE / CU-MA185KE / CU-MA195KE / CU-MA245KE Service Manual ▷ View online
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.
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 to the right.

•
Carry out the measurements of pressure, electric current, and temperature fifteen minutes after an operation is started.
13.1.2. Diagnosis methods of a malfunction of a compressor and 4-way valve
Nature of fault
Symptom
•
Electric current during operation becomes approximately 20% lower than the normal value.
Insufficient compressing of a compressor
•
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.
•
Electric current reaches a high level abnormally, and the value exceeds the limit of an
ammeter. In some cases, a breaker turns off.
ammeter. In some cases, a breaker turns off.
Locked compressor
•
The compressor is a humming sound.
•
Electric current during operation becomes approximately 80% lower than the normal value.
Insufficient switches of the 4-way valve
•
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.
suction tube to the 4-way valve becomes almost zero.
