AGZ-D Troubleshooting Chart
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES POSSIBLE CORRECTIVE STEPS
1. Main switch. 1. Close switch.
2. Fuse blown. circuit breakers open
2. Check electrical circuits and motor windings for
shorts or grounds. Investigate for possible overloading.
Replace fuse or reset breakers after fault is corrected.
Check for loose or corroded connections.
3. Thermal overloads tripped
3. Overloads are auto-reset. Check unit closely when
unit comes back on line. Allow time for auto-reset.
4. Defective contactor or coil. 4. Repair or replace
5. System shutdown by equipment protection devices
5. Determine type and cause of shutdown and correct
it before resetting equipment protection switch.
6. No cooling required 6. None. Wait until unit calls for cooling.
7. Liquid line solenoid will not open 7. Repair or replace solenoid coil. Check wiring.
8. Motor electrical trouble 8. Check motor for opens, shorts, or burnout.
Compressor Will
Not Run
9. Loose wiring 9. Check all wire junctions. Tighten all terminal screws.
Compressor Noisy
Or Vibrating
1. Low or no refrigerant charge
2. Compressor running in reverse
3. Improper piping support on suction or discharge
4. Worn compressor isolator bushing
5. Worn Compressor
1. Repair and recharge
2. Check unit and compressor for correct phasing
3. Relocate, add, or remove hangers
4. Replace
5. Replace
1. Noncondensables in system
1. Extract the noncondensables with approved
procedures.
2. System overcharged with refrigerant 2. Remove excess, check liquid subcooling.
3. Optional discharge shutoff valve partially closed 3. Open valve.
4. FanTrol wiring not correct 4. Check FanTrol wiring.
5. Fan not running 5. Check electrical circuit, Check fan motor.
High Discharge
Pressure
6. Dirty condenser coil
7. Air recirculation
6. Clean coil.
7. Correct.
1. Refrigerant flood back 1. Correct.
2. Wind blowing into coil at low ambient
2. Shield coil from direct wind, Wind guards are
available.
3. Faulty condenser temperature regulation 3. Check condenser control operation.
4. Insufficient refrigerant in system
5. Low suction pressure
4. Check for leaks. Repair and add charge.
5. See corrective steps for Low Suction Pressure.
Low Discharge
Pressure
6. Only one compressor operating
6. See corrective steps for Compressor Will Not Stage
Up.
1. Excessive water temperature 1. Check control settings.
2. Excessive load 2. Reduce load or add additional equipment.
3. Expansion valve overfeeding 3. Check remote bulb. Regulate superheat.
High Suction
Pressure
4. Compressors running in reverse 4. Check for proper phasing.
1. Rapid load swings 1. Stabilize load.
2. Lack of refrigerant
2. Check for leaks, repair, add charge. Check liquid
sight glass.
3. Clogged liquid line filter drier 3. Check pressure drop across filter drier. Replace.
4. Expansion valve malfunctioning 4. Check and reset for proper superheat.
5. Condensing temperature too low 5. Check means for regulating condenser temperature.
6. Compressor will not unload
6. See corrective steps for Compressor Staging
Intervals Too Low.
7. Insufficient water flow 7. Adjust flow.
8. Evaporator head ring gasket slippage
8. Take pressure drop across vessel and contact
factory to obtain design pressure drop for that vessel.
Low Suction
Pressure
9. Evaporator dirty
10. Rapid load swings
9. Clean chemically.
10. Stabilize load.
1. Defective capacity control 1. Replace.
2. Faulty thermostat stage or broken wire 2. Replace.
Compressor Will
Not Stage Up
3. Stages not set for application 3. Reset thermostat setting for application.
1. Thermostat control band not set properly 1. Set control band wider.
2. Faulty water temperature sensor 2. Replace.
Compressor
Staging Intervals
Too Short
3. Insufficient water flow
4. Rapid load swings
3. Adjust flow.
