7-4. Air conditioner operates, but abnormalities are observed. 7-4-1. Poor cooling Temperature difference is small. • Measure temperature of suction and Possibility of Charge refrigerant gas shortage. gas (R22). discharge air of air conditioner. Temperature difference between suction and discharge air is large enough (approx.
8. CHECKING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS 8-1. Measurement of Insulation Power plug Resistance The insulation is in good condition if the resistance Ground exceeds 2MΩ. Probe 8-1-1. Power Cord and Unit Fig. 1 Insulation tester Clamp the grounding prong of the power plug with a lead NOTE clip of the insulation resistance tester and measure the The shape of the power plug may differ from that of...
8-2. Checking Motor Capacitor Remove the lead wires from the capacitor terminals, and then place a probe on the capacitor terminals as shown in Fig. 4. Observe the deflection of the pointer, setting the Multimeter resistance measuring range of the multimeter to the maximum value.
9. DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES Model SA– 123A NOTE These illustrations are based on typical view of a standard model. Consequently, the shape may differ from that of the air conditioner which you are servicing. 9-1. Removing Front Grille Fig. 1 (1) Pull out the filter. Screw holding the grille (2) Remove the screw holding the grille in place.
9-4. Removing Evaporator (1) Remove screws holding top plate of evaporator. (Fig. 10) (2) Remove screws holding evaporator. (Fig. 10) (3) Grasp lower portion of the evaporator with both hands and tilt it slightly and lift it carefully from the drain pan so as not to distort the copper tube.
9-6. Removing Condenser (1) Remove two splasher plates A and B on both side of condenser. (Fig. 12) (2) Remove splasher plate C at the back of condenser. (Fig. 12) (3) Remove other screws holding the condenser. (Fig. 12) (4) Grasp lower portion of the condenser with both hands and tilt it slightly and lift it carefully from the base pan so as not to distort the copper tube.
