VIII−TROUBLESHOOTING FLOWCHARTS
The following flowcharts show how to diagnose problems
in two-speed heat pumps equipped with TSC control.
Table 19 shows how to determine if the TSC is functioning.
Tables 20a and 20b show how to correlate TSC diagnostics
to the unit.
Follow the flowcharts step by step. Disconnect as few
wires as possible. Any time a repair is made, reassemble
the unit and retest for operation. If the unit does not oper-
ate, recheck up to that point and then continue through the
chart. Occasionally more than one specific problem may
exist. Do as little disassembly as possible and double
check your diagnosis before replacing components.
Be sure to remove all jumper wires and replace all wire con-
nections and access panels before placing unit back in
service.

NOTE−Before beginning this troubleshooting pro-
cedure make sure that 1) primary side of contactor
is supplied with line voltage 2)indoor and outdoor
transformers are delivering 24vac and 3)line volt-
age is supplied to compressor terminals when
contactors engage.
