| Symptom | Check | Defect | Remedy |
| Neither fan motor nor compressor work | Check power supply or plug, and measure voltage | - Fuse broken or contact defective
- Plug disconnected
- Plug connected but defective
| - If fuse and switch are normal, check mains
- Connect properly
- Change plug
|
| Fan motor does not operate | - Fan motor
- Motor lead
| - Motor defective
- Fan touches, stops motor
- Inside wiring defective
- Wiring burnout
| - Adjust motor position or blades
- Change or repair
- Change or repair
- Change or repair
|
| Compressor does not operate | - No current runs (compressor circuit)
| - Switch defective
- Compressor coil burnout
- Wiring disconnected or burnout
| - Change switch
- Change compressor
- Change compressor wiring
|
- Current runs, below operating current capacitor normal
| - Compressor burnout
- Switch contact defective
- No gas
| - Change compressor
- Change compressor
- Fill gas
|
- Large current runs
| - Compressor locked
- Compressor burnout
- Capacitor defective
- Starter contact defective
| - Change compressor
- Change compressor
- Change capacitor
- Change starter switch
|
- Large current runs and compressor operates but stops immediately
| - Compressor short
- Heat source near cooler
| - Change compressor
- Remove heat source
|
| Compressor does not start fully | Check power source voltage | - Power source voltage too low
- Wires too thin
| - Improve power source
- Use thick wires
|
| Compressor starts but stops shortly | - Measure power supply voltage
| - Voltage is low and over current runs. Overload relay operates
- Wires for power supply equipment too thin.
| - Improve equipment voltage
- Change wires
|
- Check if air is delivered
| - Thermostat operates. Fan does not.
- Thermostat operates, fan is loose.
| - Change switch. Check electric circuit (fan)
- Tighten fan blade screw
|
- Check temperature of air sucked and heat exchanger temperature.
| Very little difference | Improve ventilation |
| Electric shock | Insulation resistance | - Over 10M Ohm on megger
- Below 10 M Ohm on megger
| - Take proper earth
- Change defective or repair
