Why is the evaporator coil blocked in my Carrier Refrigerator?
- DDeborah HaleySep 12, 2025
If your Carrier Refrigerator's evaporator coil is blocked, it may be due to frost on the coil (5.6) or a dirty coil (6.15).

Why is the evaporator coil blocked in my Carrier Refrigerator?
If your Carrier Refrigerator's evaporator coil is blocked, it may be due to frost on the coil (5.6) or a dirty coil (6.15).
What causes low suction pressure in a Carrier Refrigerator?
If your Carrier Refrigerator's suction pressure is low, the possible causes include a faulty suction pressure transducer (replace it), a partially closed suction service valve (open it), a partially plugged filter-drier, low refrigerant charge, or a defective expansion valve. Other potential causes are no evaporator air flow or restricted air flow, excessive frost on the evaporator coil, evaporator fan(s) rotating backwards, or a malfunctioning suction modulation valve.
How to fix a Carrier Refrigerator that won't defrost automatically?
If your Carrier Refrigerator unit will not defrost automatically, it could be due to several reasons: a defrost timer malfunction (replace it), loose terminal connections (tighten them), defective wiring (replace it), a defective defrost temperature sensor or an open heat termination thermostat (replace them), or a defective heater contactor or coil (replace it).
What to do if my Carrier Refrigerator will not control?
If your Carrier Refrigerator unit will not control, the issue might stem from a defective sensor (6.22), defective wiring, a blown fuse (F1, F2, F3) (replace it), a stepper motor suction modulation valve circuit malfunction (6.20), or a low refrigerant charge (6.7).
Why won't my Carrier Refrigerator start?
If your Carrier Refrigerator unit will not start, check if the circuit breaker (CB-1 or CB-2) has tripped or if the power source is turned ON.
How to troubleshoot no evaporator airflow in Carrier Refrigerator?
If your Carrier Refrigerator experiences no or partial evaporator air flow, the possible causes include an open evaporator fan motor internal protector (6.17), defective evaporator fan motor(s) (6.17), loose or defective evaporator fan(s) (6.17), or a defective evaporator fan contactor (replace it).
What causes abnormal currents in Carrier Refrigerator?
If your Carrier Refrigerator unit reads abnormal currents, check the current sensor wiring.
What causes high discharge temperature in a Carrier Refrigerator?
If your Carrier Refrigerator displays a high discharge temperature, it could be due to a discharge temperature sensor drifting high (replace it), a failed economizer, TXV, or solenoid valve (replace it), a plugged economizer, TXV, or solenoid valve (replace it), a loose or insufficiently clamped sensor (replace it), or a failed liquid injection solenoid valve (replace it).
What causes high suction pressure with low superheat in Carrier Refrigerator?
If your Carrier Refrigerator has high suction pressure with low superheat, the superheat setting may be too low (6.14), the external equalizer line may be plugged or ice is holding valve open, or there may be foreign material in the valve (6.14).
Why do suction and discharge pressures equalize in my Carrier Refrigerator?
If the suction and discharge pressures tend to equalize when your Carrier Refrigerator is operating, it could be due to the compressor operating in reverse (5.14) or the compressor cycling/stopped (check).
