AIR CONDITIONING CYCLE TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION
No cooling or
insufficient
cooling
1. Magnetic clutch does not run


Refer to “MAGNETIC CLUTCH”
troubleshooting in this section
2. Compressor is not rotating properly

Drive belt loosened or broken

Adjust the drive belt to the specified
tension or replace the drive belt


Magnetic clutch face is not clean and
slips
Clean the magnetic clutch face or replace




Incorrect clearance between magnetic
drive plate and pulley

Adjust the clearance (Refer to
“COMPRESSOR OVERHAUL”



Compressor oil leaks from shaft seal or
shell

Replace the compressor




Compressor seized

Replace the compressor

3. Insufficient or excessive charge of
refrigerant

Discharge and recover refrigerant.
Recharge to specified amount.
4. Leaks in the refrigerant system




Check refrigerant system for leaks and
repair as necessary
Discharge and recover refrigerant.
Recharge to specified amount.
5. Condenser clogged or insufficient radiation


Clean the condenser or replace as
necessary


Check radiator or condenser fan function

6. Temperature control link unit of the heater
unit defective

Repair the link unit

7. Unsteady operation due to foreign
substance in expansion valve

Replace the expansion valve

8. Poor operation of electronic thermostat


Check electronic thermostat and replace
as necessary
Insufficient
velocity
of cooling air

1. Evaporator clogged or frosted


Check evaporator core and replace or
clean the core
2. Air leaking from cooling unit or air duct

Check evaporator and duct connection,
then repair as necessary

3. Blower motor does not rotate prop-erly


Refer to “FAN CONTROL KNOB (FAN
SWITCH)” troubleshooting in this section
