How to troubleshoot a HiRef Air Conditioner that does not start?
- J
  Jonathan RiveraAug 5, 2025
  If your HiRef Air Conditioner unit isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure that power is being supplied to both the primary and auxiliary circuits. Then, check the fuses to see if the electronic card is receiving power. Alarms might be preventing the unit from starting, so check the microprocessor control panel for any signalled alarms, address the causes, and then restart the unit. Finally, a wrong phase sequence could be the issue; if so, invert two phases in the primary power line after disconnecting them upstream from the unit.

What to do if the compressor of my HiRef HTI-380 does not start?

  Nicholas GeorgeAug 9, 2025
  If the compressor in your HiRef Air Conditioner isn't starting, the circuit breakers or line fuses might have been tripped by a short circuit. To resolve this, pinpoint the cause by measuring the resistance of the individual windings and the insulation from the casing before restoring power. Also, check if one of the HP or LP pressure switches has tripped and eliminate the causes using the microprocessor. Lastly, verify the phase sequence relay, as the phases might have been inverted in the distribution compartment.

  If the compressor in your HiRef Air Conditioner is unusually noisy, it might be rotating in the wrong direction. To fix this, check the phase sequence relay. Then, invert the phases on the terminal board after disconnecting the unit and contact the manufacturer.

What causes low evaporation pressure in a HiRef HTI-380?
- J
  Julie Gonzalez DDSAug 22, 2025
  If you're experiencing low evaporation pressure in your HiRef Air Conditioner, it could be due to several reasons. A malfunctioning thermostatic valve might be the cause; try warming the bulb with your hand to see if the valve opens, and adjust it if necessary, replacing it if it doesn't respond. Additionally, a clogged filter dryer could be the issue; pressure drops upstream and downstream from the filter should not exceed 2°C, so replace the filter if they do. Low condensation temperature can also lead to this problem, so check the efficiency of the condensation control device, if present. Lastly, a low level of refrigerant might be the cause; check the refrigerant level by measuring the degree of Sub-cooling, and if it is below 2°C, replenish the charge.

Why is my HiRef Air Conditioner leaking water?
- M
  Michaela DavisAug 27, 2025
  If water is leaking from your HiRef Air Conditioner, it might be due to a few reasons. First, check if the drain pan hole is blocked and clean it by opening the front panels and removing the sheet metal just below the e-panel (for down flow units). Also, ensure that the siphon is present and provide a new one if it's missing. Lastly, make sure the unit is perfectly level by adjusting its placement.

Why is there abnormally high pressure in my HiRef Air Conditioner?
- L
  lwilliamsNov 13, 2025
  If you notice abnormally high pressure in your HiRef Air Conditioner, start by checking for any obstructions in the condenser section ventilation circuit that might be restricting airflow through the condenser. Also, inspect the condenser coil surface to ensure it's not obstructed. If there's air in the refrigerant circuit, indicated by bubbles in the flow indicator and sub-cooling values exceeding 5 °C, drain and pressurise the circuit to check for leaks, then evacuate slowly (for more than 3 hours) until reaching a pressure of 0.1 Pa and recharge in the liquid phase. If the unit is overcharged, shown by a Sub-cooling of more than 8 °C, drain the circuit. Finally, check the temperatures upstream and downstream from the thermostatic valve and filter and replace them if necessary, as they m...
