Troubleshooting - Bryant 619R C Series Service Manual

TROUBLESHOOTING

This section provides the required flow charts to troubleshoot
problems that may arise.
NOTE: Information required in the diagnoses can be found
either on the wiring diagrams or in the appendix.
Required Tools:
The following tools are needed when diagnosing the units:
S Digital multimeter
S Screw drivers (Phillips and straight head)
S Needle−nose pliers
S Refigeration gauges
Recommended Steps
1 Refer to the diagnostic hierarchy charts below and
determine the problem at hand.
2 Go to the chart listed in the diagnostic hierarchy and follow
the steps in the chart for the selected problem.
For ease of service, the systems are equipped with diagnostic code
display LED's on both the indoor and outdoor units. The outdoor
diagnostic display is on the outdoor unit board and is limited to very
few errors. The indoor diagnostic display is a combination of flashing
LED's on the display panel on the front of the unit. If possible always
check the diagnostic codes displayed on the indoor unit first. The
diagnostic codes for the indoor and outdoor units are listed in the
appendix.
Safety
Electricity power is still kept in capacitors even the power supply is shut off. Do not forget to discharge the electricity power in capacitor.
For other models, connect discharge resistance (approx.100Ω 40W) or soldering iron (plug) between +, − terminals of the electrolytic
capacitor on the contrary side of the outdoor PCB.
NOTE: Fig. 19 is for reference only.
Problems may occur that are not covered by a diagnostic code, but
are covered by the diagnostic flow charts. These problems are
typical air conditioning mechanical or electrical issues that can be
corrected using standard air conditioning repair techniques.
For problems requiring measurements at the control boards, note
the following:
1 Always disconnect the main power.
2 When possible check the outdoor board first.
3 Start by removing the outdoor unit top cover.
4 Reconnect the main power
5 Probe the outdoor board inputs and outputs with a digital
multi−meter referring to the wiring diagrams.
6 Connect the red probe to hot signal and the black probe to
the ground or negative.
7 Note that some of the DC voltage signals are pulsating
voltages for signal. this pulse should be rapidly moving at
all times when there is a signal present.
8 If it is necessary to check the indoor unit board you must
start by disconnecting the main power.
9 Next remove the front cover of the unit and then control
box cover.
10 Carefully remove the indoor board from the control box,
place it face up on a plastic surface (not metal).
11 Reconnect the main power and repeat steps 5, 6, and 7.
12 Disconnect main power before reinstalling board to avoid
shock hazard and board damage.
