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 to-
gether.
3. The room was probably very hot
(cool) when you started the sys-
tem.
1. Thermostat adjustment too low
(in heating mode) or too high (in
cooling mode).
2. Faulty fan.
3. Refrigerant charge too low, leak.
4. Air or incondensables in refriger-
ant circuit.
1. Too much or too little refrigerant.
2. Faulty compressor.
3. Air or incondensables in refriger-
ant circuit.
4. Changeover valve damaged or

due to a sudden temperature change
in this event, a clicking sound may
occur.
