Why is my Heatcraft Air Conditioner compressor not running?
- G
  Gregory YoungAug 17, 2025
  Several factors can cause a Heatcraft Air Conditioner compressor not to run. It could be due to an open main switch (close the switch), a blown fuse (check for shorts or grounds, investigate overloading, and replace the fuse after correction), tripped thermal overloads (which reset automatically, so monitor the unit when it restarts), a defective contactor or coil (repair or replace it), or the system being shut down by safety devices (determine the cause and correct it before resetting the safety switch). Other potential causes include no cooling being required (wait until cooling is needed), motor electrical issues (check for open windings, short circuits, or burnout), or loose wiring (check and tighten all wire junctions and terminal screws).

What to do if Heatcraft Air Conditioner has high discharge pressure?
- P
  Patrick CaldwellAug 20, 2025
  If your Heatcraft Air Conditioner has high discharge pressure, it could be due to several reasons. There might be non-condensables in the system (remove them), the fan might not be running (check the electrical circuit and replace the motor if it's defective), the condenser coil could be dirty (clean it), or the system might be overcharged with refrigerant (reclaim refrigerant and recharge the proper amount).

What causes a Heatcraft Air Conditioner fan not to operate?
- N
  Nicolas YoungAug 22, 2025
  A Heatcraft Air Conditioner fan might not operate due to an open main switch (close the switch), blown fuses (replace fuses and check for short circuits or overload conditions), a defective motor (replace the motor), a defective defrost control (replace the component), the unit being in a defrost cycle (wait for completion), or the coil not getting cold enough to reset the thermostat (adjust the fan delay setting of the control).

What to do if my Heatcraft Air Conditioner has low suction pressure?
- J
  Jennifer DukeAug 26, 2025
  If you are experiencing low suction pressure in your Heatcraft Air Conditioner, it could be due to a lack of refrigerant (check for leaks, repair, and add charge), a dirty or iced evaporator (clean it), a malfunctioning expansion valve (check and reset for proper superheat), or a condensing temperature that is too low (check ambient temperature, which should be between 50°F and 100°F).

Why is my Heatcraft Air Conditioner compressor noisy?
- T
  Tammy DavisAug 28, 2025
  A noisy or vibrating Heatcraft Air Conditioner compressor can be caused by flooding of refrigerant into the crankcase (check the setting of expansion valves) or a worn compressor (replace it).

What causes ice accumulating on my Heatcraft Air Conditioner?
- P
  Patrick CharlesAug 31, 2025
  Ice accumulating on the ceiling around the evaporator and/or on the fan guards of your Heatcraft Air Conditioner can occur if the defrost duration is too long (adjust the defrost termination temperature on the control), the fan delay is not delaying fans after the defrost period (adjust the fan delay setting or replace a bad sensor), there is a defective defrost control or sensor (replace the defective component), or there are too many defrosts (adjust the number of defrosts).

What causes high suction pressure in Heatcraft Air Conditioner?
- B
  baileydavidSep 2, 2025
  High suction pressure in a Heatcraft Air Conditioner can be caused by an excessive load (reduce the load or add additional equipment) or an expansion valve overfeeding (check the remote bulb and regulate superheat).

What causes a Heatcraft Air Conditioner compressor thermal protector switch to open?
- S
  Susan BrownSep 5, 2025
  The compressor thermal protector switch in your Heatcraft Air Conditioner might open due to operating beyond design conditions (add equipment to stay within allowable limits), a dirty condenser coil (clean the coil), or an overcharged system (reduce the charge).

Why is the room temperature too high with my Heatcraft Air Conditioner?
- S
  Scott WilliamsSep 8, 2025
  If the room temperature is too high when using your Heatcraft Air Conditioner, it could be because the control cut out is set too high (adjust the control), the superheat is too high (adjust the thermal expansion valve), the system is low on refrigerant (add refrigerant), or the coil is iced-up (manually defrost the coil and check defrost controls for malfunction).

What causes coil not clearing of frost during defrost cycle in Heatcraft Air Conditioner?
- T
  Tanya SparksSep 12, 2025
  A coil not clearing of frost during the defrost cycle in your Heatcraft Air Conditioner may be due to the coil temperature not getting above the freezing point during defrost (check heater operation), not enough defrost cycles per day (adjust the control for more cycles), a defrost cycle that is too short (adjust the defrost control duration setting), a defective defrost control or sensor (replace the component), a defective heater (replace the heater), improper unit installation (check and adjust if necessary), or a plugged drain line (clean the drain line).
