3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE In general, possible trouble is classified in two causes. One is called Starting Failure which is caused from an electrical defect, and the other is Ineffective Air Conditioning caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and/or improper application. Unit is running but cooling is ineffective Check cold air circulation for smooth flow.
