Troubleshooting Procedure for Control
Related Issues
This method of diagnosis will test the 3 main
components of the control circuit individually to
indicate any potential problems. This is to be used
when the control will not activate the main unit.
1. Detach field control wiring connections from
the pigtails on the main unit.
2. Connect the yellow and green wire pigtails
together; only the fan should run. Disconnect
the wires.
3. Connect the yellow and blue wires pigtails
together; fan and compressor should run.
Disconnect the wires.
4. If this test works, the main unit is working
correctly from a control standpoint.
5. Reconnect field control wiring to the pigtails
on the main unit.
6. Remove the control panel cover and detach
the field wiring from the control connections.
7. Connect the yellow and green wires together;
only the fan should run. Disconnect the wires.
8. Connect the yellow and blue wires together;
fan and compressor should run. Disconnect
the wires.
9. If this test works, then the field control wiring
is ok.
10. If the problem persists, then the control is
most likely faulty.
