SymptomProbable causeDiagnosisCorrective Actions
Vacuum is indicated on low pres-
sure side, and extreamly low pres-
sure is indicated on high pressure
side
Frost or dew is seen on piping on
both sides of condenser or expan-
sion valve
Refrigerant flow is obstructed by
moisture or dirt in refrigeration sys-
tem

gas leak from expansion valve
Refrigerant does not circulate
(1) Check the expansion valve
(2) Clean out dirt on expansion
valve by blowing air
(3) Replace condenser
(4) Vacuum and supply proper
amount of new refrigerant
(5) For gas leakage from expan-
sion valve, replace expansion

(6) When the refrigerant is overcharged or cooling of
condenser is insufficient:
SymptomProbable causeDiagnosisRemedy

sight glass even when engine rpm
lowers
Excessive refrigerant
