TROUBLESHOOTING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSES and CORRECTIONS
SLIDE VALVE WILL NOT LOAD OR Solenoid coils may be burned out, replace.
UNLOAD
Valve may be closed. Open hydraulic service valves.
Solenoid spool may be stuck or centering spring broken, replace.
Check outputs 2 and 3 and fuses.
Solenoid may be mechanically actuated by inserting a piece of 3/16" rod
against armature pin and pushing spool to opposite end. Push A side to
confi rm unload capability. If valve works, problem is electrical.
SLIDE VALVE WILL LOAD BUT A side solenoid coil may be burned out, replace.
WILL NOT UNLOAD
Dirt inside solenoid valve preventing valve from operating both ways, clean.

problem is electrical.
SLIDE STOP WILL NOT FUNCTION Solenoid coils may be burned out, replace.
EITHER DIRECTION
Solenoid service valves may be closed, open.
Manually actuate solenoid. If slide stop will not move mechanical problems
are indicated. Consult Frick factor or Frick.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE OIL SEPARATION SYSTEM
SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSES and CORRECTIONS
GRADUAL OIL LOSS WITH AN OIL Maintaining too high an oil level, lower level.
LEVEL IN THE COALESCER
SECTION SIGHT GLASS Refrigerant carryover or liquid injection overfeed ing, correct operation.
Loss of suction superheat. Adjust evaporator feeds.
Contaminated oil, damaged or not seated coalescer fi lter elements. Replace
oil charge and coalescers.
Oil fl oat return valve closed, open return valve.
Float equalizing valve closed, open valve.
Coalescing oil return line strainer blocked, clean
Clean and check needle valve.
RAPID LOSS WITH NO OIL LEVEL On shutdown, compressor unit suction check valve did not close, repair valve.
IN THE COALESCER SECTION
SIGHT GLASS Suction check valve bypass valve open, close valve.
Coalescers loose or not seated properly, correct or replace.
