check the valve coil or replace it
No cooling/heating
replace it
Dirty filters Clean & replace
Indoor air blockage Check supply registers and return grills for
blockage.
Clear away leaves and other debris
Improperly sized unit Recalculate load
Improper airflow Check – should be 400CFM/Ton
Incorrect refrigerant charge Charge correctly per instruction.
Air, non-condensable or moisture in
system
Recover refrigerant, evacuate & recharge,
add filter drier
Insufficient Cooling
Incorrect voltage At compressor terminals, voltage must be
within 10% of rating plate volts when unit is
