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
