"POSSIBLE CAUSE"
SYMPTOM
System will not start Compressor will not start - fan runs Comp. and Cond. Fan will not start Evaporator fan will not start Condenser fan will not start Compressor runs - goes off on overload Compressor cycles on overload System runs continuously - little cooling Too cool and then too warm Not cool enough on warm days Certain areas too cool, others too warm Compressor won't shift to high stage cooling Compressor is noisy Low suction pressure Low head pressure High suction pressure High head pressure
