Probable cause
1. Power failure.
2. Fuse blown or circuit breaker open.
3. Voltage is too low.
4. Faulty contactor or relay.
5. Electrical connections loose.
6. Thermostat adjustment too low
(in heating mode) or too high
(in cooling mode).
7. Faulty capacitor.
8. Incorrect wiring, terminal loose.
9. Pressure switch tripped.
1. Motor winding cut or grounded.
2. Faulty capacitor.
1. There is a gas leak.
2. Liquid and gas line insulated
together.
3. The room was probably very hot
(cool) when you started the
system.
1. Thermostat adjustment too low
(in heating mode) or too high
(in cooling mode).
2. Faulty fan.
