6.2.11 Locked Up Compressor:

After all start components have been properly tested and determined to be good and the proper voltage
has been verified, the compressor does not start while the current spikes up to the LRA, this could be
indicative of an internal mechanical problem within the compressor. If so, replace the compressor with OEM
replacement. See Table 12 for Traulsen part number and OEM model number.

6.2.12 Current Climbs Above RLA:

See section on Troubleshooting Run Capacitor first. If the amps start out at RLA but climb higher until the
external overload protector opens, this could be an indication of poor air circulation through the condenser coil
resulting in higher head pressure. The solution could be as simple as cleaning the condenser coil or a problem
with the condenser fan motor, such as tight bearings or a fan blade that has been installed backwards. If none
of the above, this could also be a symptom of an internal mechanical problem within the compressor. If so,
replace the compressor with OEM replacement. Note: When a system is overcharged, the compressor current
may be above RLA.
