Less Cooling

Troubleshooting Table

Fault Symptoms Probable Cause Trouble Point Remedy
Less Cooling 1 Supply air is cold but room is not cooled. 1 Excessive cooling load. 1 Room is too large for chosen capacity. 1 Recalculate the cooling load.
2 Direct sunlight enters the room being cooled.
3 Doors are opened and closed frequently or room contains too many persons.
4 Heat sources such as heaters and cooking stoves, etc. are present.
2 Unsuitable installation location. 1 Check if room air conditioner is installed in corner. 1 Change installation location.
2 Check for any obstructing object in front of room air conditioner. 2 Remove any obstructing object.
3 Insufficient air flow. 1 Dust accumulates in the air filter. 1 Wash out the dust on the air filter.
2 Dust adheres to fins which causes less air flow. 2 Clean the fins with brush and water.
2 Compressor is operating, but supply air is not cooled sufficiently. 1 Defective refrigerating cycle. 1 Refrigerant leakage from the brazed section in piping. 1 Check each section with halogen gas leak detector and repair it immediately when a leaking section is detected.
2 Ambient condition. 2 Compressor becomes over-loaded and stops with the actuation of overload relay. 2 Check for direct sunlight on air conditioner.
3 Compressor stops soon after starting. 1 Variation of power source voltage and power source capacity. 1 Supply voltage is not in range of +/-10% of rated. 1 Use stabilizers for regulated power supply.
2 Ambient condition. 2 Compressor becomes over loaded and stops with the actuation of overload relay. 2 Check for any sunlight on air conditioner.
3 Compressor running capacitor becomes poor or disconnected. 3 Check electrical wire and compressor running capacitor with capacitor. 3 Replace the defective capacitor.
4 Defective refrigerating cycle and overload. 4 Measure the voltage and current abnormality. 4 Repair refrigerating cycle and overload relay.
5 Defective compressor. 5 Check compressor winding resistance and compare with specification. 5 Replace any defective compressor.
