Nature of fault
Symptom
Insufficient compressing of a compressor
• Electric current during operation becomes approximately 20% lower than the normal value.
• The discharge tube of the compressor becomes abnormally hot (normally 70 to 90°C).
• The difference between high pressure and low pressure becomes almost zero.
Locker compressor
• Electric current reaches a high level abnormally, and the value exceeds the limit of an
ammeter. In some cases, a breaker turns off.
• The compressor has a humming sound.
Insufficient switches of the 4-way valve
• Electric current during operation becomes approximately 80% lower than the normal value.
