  If your Inficon Air Conditioner compressor won't start, there are several potential causes: * The power cord may not be attached: Ensure the power cord is properly connected. * There may be no voltage at the receptacle: Verify the voltage at the job site. * The circuit breaker may have opened: Identify the cause of the breaker activation, rectify the issue, and reset the breaker. * The discharge pressure might be too high, causing the HP switch to open: Reduce the pressure and rotate V2 to Purge and back to Recovery. * There could be an electronics failure in the motor: This requires factory service.

Why does my Inficon Air Conditioner compressor start then cut out with high pressure?

  Amanda GrayAug 4, 2025
  If your Inficon Air Conditioner compressor starts but cuts out within a few minutes with a high-pressure indication, it could be due to the following reasons: * V2 is in the Purge position, activating the HP switch: Rotate V2 to the Recovery position. * V3 is not open, activating the HP switch: Rotate V3 to the open position. * The recovery tank valve is not open: Open the tank valve. * There is a blocked discharge hose: Check and clear any blockage. * There is air in the system/tank: Bleed air from the system/tank.

  If your Inficon Air Conditioner's compressor stops intermittently, it could be because: * The vapor pressure of refrigerant in the tank is close to the HP trip point: Reduce the tank temperature. * The thermal overload switch in the compressor is activating: Reduce the amount of liquid being pumped and let the machine cool down before proceeding.
