ii ) Diagnosis of Refrigerant Circuit / Application
There might be some causes where the unit starts running but does not perform satisfactorily, i.e. insuffi cient
cooling. Judgement could be made by measuring temperature difference of indoor unit’s intake and discharge
air as well as running current.
: Faulty : Check : Cause : Remedy
Insuffi cient cooling
Indoor/outdoor coil dirty
(clogged)
Indoor air fi lter dirty
Restriction e.g. at strainer,
capillary, fi lter dryer, etc.
Restricted

Windows / doors wide
open
Close the windows / doors
Refrigerant short charge
or refrigerant leakage
Add refrigerant. Repair leakage if detected
Repair clogging or replace faulty components
Less or no compression
(Low running current)
Replace compressor
Satisfactory operation with temperature difference of air
intake & discharge of indoor unit 8°C to 13°C. *
