Checks and Corrections
Close disconnect, apply power
Replace fuse or rest circuit breaker. If using fuses, ensure
they are the correct size.
If voltage is below minimum voltage specified on unit data
plate, contact local power company.
Set the fan to "ON," the fan should run. Set thermostat to
"COOL" with the lowest temperature setting, the unit
should run in the cooling mode (reversing valve
energized). Set unit to "HEAT" with the highest
temperature setting, the unit should run in the heating
mode. If neither the blower or compressor run in all three
cases, the thermostat could
be miswired or faulty. To ensure miswired or faulty
thermostat verify that 24 volts is available on the
condensing section low-voltage terminal strip between
"R" and "C," "Y" and "C," and "O" and "C." If the blower
does not operate, verify that there is 24 volts between
terminals "G" and "C" in the air handler. Replace the
thermostat if defective.
If in "COOLING" mode: Lack of or inadequate water flow.
Entering water temperature is too warm. Scaled or
plugged condenser.
If in "HEATING" mode: Lack of or inadequate load side
fluid flow. Blower inoperative, clogged filter
or restrictions in duct work.
The unit is overcharged with refrigerant. Reclaim
refrigerant, evacuate and recharge with the factory
recommended charge.
Check for a defective or improperly calibrated high-
pressure switch.
If in "COOLING" mode: Lack of or inadequate airflow.
Entering air temperature is too cold. Blower inoperative,
clogged filter or restrictions in duct work.
If in "HEATING" mode: Lack of or inadequate water flow.
Entering water temperature is too cold. Scaled or plugged
condenser.
The unit is low on refrigerant. Check for refrigerant leak,
repair, evacuate and recharge with factory recommended
charge.
Check for defective or improperly calibrated low-pressure
switch.
