High Side
Low Side
1. Overcharged with refrigerant.
2. Non-condensable gases in refrigerant circuit (e.g. oil).
3. Obstructed air-intake/discharge.
4. Short circuiting of hot air at outdoor unit.

By Means Of Diagnosis Flow Chart
Generally, there are two kind of problems, i.e. starting failure and insufficient cooling/heating. "Starting Failure" is
caused by electrical defect while "Insufficient Cooling/Heating" is caused by improper application or defects in
refrigerant circuit
.
No Cooling / Heating
Unit fail to start
Check power supply
- voltage
- phase
- frequency
Check settings of remote control box
Compressor fails to start
Check circuit breaker & fuse
Check power source cord
Fan fails to start
Fan Motor Capacitor defective
Loose Connections,
Contactors
Irregular motor resistance ( Ω )
& insulation (M Ω )
Replace Fan Motor
Compressor Motor damaged ( to replace compressor)
Thermostat setting too high
Protection Device Actuated
Reset
Compressor locked (to replace compressor)
Voltage supply not within range
Check motor resistance ( Ω ) and insulation (M Ω )
Compressor
Capacitor Defective
Loose Connections,
Improper wiring
Regular but fails
to start
Irregular
