POSSIBLE CAUSE
Check thermostat and wiring. Check unit terminal
block for 24 VAC between "Y" and "C" and "G" and
"C".
Ensure that the supply voltage to the unit is with in the
range shown on the unit data plate.
Check for 24 VAC between "R" and "C" on the unit
terminal block. For 75 and 100 VA transformers,
check that the transformer circuit breaker has not
tripped. Check low voltage circuit for overload
conditons or short circuits before replacing the
transformer.
Check supply voltage from the fan relay to the motor.
Check that all motor wires are secure. With power off
spin the motor shaft - noise, resistance or uneven
motion can be signs of motor failure.
Check for 24 VAC across the fan relay coil. Check all
wiring connections.
If the relay coil is energized but the relay does not pull
in, check the resistance across the relay coil - an open
circuit is an indicator of a faulty relay.
Check for 24 VAC between "G" and "C". Check all
wiring connections.
Check all wiring connections at motor and control box.
Check supply voltage to the motor. Check that all
motor wires are secure. With power off spin the motor
shaft - noise, resistance or uneven motion can be
signs of motor failure.
Check for 24 VAC between "G" and "C". Check all
wiring connections. Make sure that the thermostat
connection plug is securely connected.
Check all wiring connections at motor and control box.
Check that power and control harnesses are securely
connected.
Make sure that the interface board is not damged and
that all DIP switches are in the proper configuration
(refer to the blower performance tables).
Check supply voltage to the motor. Check that all
motor wires are secure. Move the "TEST" DIP switch
to "ON" and the other switches to "OFF" on the
"ADJUST" switch block on the interface board - the
motor should run at 70% torque whrn "G" is called.
With power off spin the motor shaft - noise, resistance
or uneven motion can be signs of motor failure.
Check that the reversing valve solenoid is receiving
24 VAC. If so, check the resistance of the solenoid -
an open circuit may indicate a burned out solenoid.
Check that the reversing valve theromstat wire is
connected to the "O" terminal of the thermostat.
Check for a contact closure between "O" and "R".
Check that the wires from the thermostat to the unit
are securely connected and that the wires from the
electrical box to the reversing valve are connected.
Replace filter.
Consult blower performance table and increase fan
speed if possible.
Consult blower performance table and increase fan
speed if possible.
Consult blower performance table and reduce fan
speed if possible.
Check unit capacity vs. water temperature.
Inspect ductwork.
Check refrigerant pressures with gage set.
Consult blower performance table and reduce fan
speed if possible.
Check refrigerant pressures with gage set.
Check unit performance against building load
calculations.
Make sure that thermostat is not located by a supply-
air duct.
