IF A SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE Indoor coil temp. thermistor (TH) is defective. Open When thermistor opens, the air conditioner will be in the following conditions as the controller tries to detect extremely low indoor coil temperature. IN COOLING MODE - Function of freeze prevention continues to work. That is the controller turns both compressor and outdoor fan motor periodically ON and OFF for several minutes.
CHECKING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS 1) Measurement of Insulation Resistance • The insuration is in good condition if the resistance exceeds 1 MΩ. (a) Power Supply Wires Clamp the earthed wire of the power supply wires with the lead clip of the insulation resistance tester and measure the resistance by placing a probe on either of the power wires (Fig.
Page 59
2) Checking Continuity of Fuse on PCB Ass’y • Remove PCB Ass’y from electrical component box. Then pull out the fuse from PCB Ass’y (Fig. 5). • Check continuity of fuse by the multimeter (Fig. 6). 3) Checking Motor Capacitor Remove the lead wiers from the capacitor termi- nals, and then place a probe on the capacitor ter- minals as shown in Fig.
