INSUFFICIENT
COOLING OR
HEATING
Unit undersized Recalculate heating and or cooling loads. If excessive, possibly adding
insulation and shading will rectify the problem
Fluid Flow
Lack of adequate fluid flow.
Refrigerant
charge
Low on refrigerant charge causing inefficient operation
Compressor
Check for defective compressor. If discharge is too low and suction
pressure is too high, compressor is not pumping properly. Replace
compressor.
Reversing Valve
Defective reversing valve creating bypass of refrigerant from discharge
of suction side of compressor. Replace reversing valve
Operating
pressures
Compare unit operation pressures to the pressure/temperature chart
for the unit.
TXV
Check TXV for possible restriction or defect. Replace if necessary.
Moisture,
noncondensables
The refrigerant system may be contaminated with moisture or
noncondensables. Reclaim refrigerant, replace filter dryer, evacuate the
refrigerant system, and recharge with factory recommended charge.

FLASH CODE 4
Locked Rotor 1. Run capacitor has failed (may not be bad, verify)
2. Low line voltage (contact utility if voltage at disconnect is low)
• Check wiring connections
