SYMPTOM
Unequal evaporator circuit loading
Superheat is low
to normal with low
suction pressure
Low load or airflow entering evaporator coil
Expansion valve is oversized.
Section thermister is affected by liquid refrigerant
or refrigerant oil flowing through suction line

incorrect)
9.0 DIAGNOSTICS & TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
Ensure airflow is equally distributed through
evaporator.
Check for blocked distributor tubes.
Ensure blower is moving proper air CFM.
Remove/Correct any airflow restriction.
Install correct EXV
Relocate sensing bulb in another position around the
circumference of the suction line.
Ensure sensing bulb is located properly.
Check for blocked distributor tubes.
Recover refrigerant, change filter-drier, evacuate
system, and recharge.
Connect pressure transducer in proper location, or
remove any blockage.
Install suction line thermistor in correct horizontal
clean section of copper pipe.
Replace suction line thermistor.
