REMARKS
o
o
Refrigerant level is low due
to a leak.
Normal cooling is possible by
restoring the normal amount
of refrigerant and repairing
the leak.
o
o
No discharging of
Refrigerant.
Normal cooling is possible by
restoring the normal amount
of refrigerant and repairing
the leak.
• Normal discharging of the
refrigerant.
• The capillary tube is faulty.
• Normal discharging of the
Refrigerant.
• Cooling operation restarts
when heating the inlet of the
capillary tube.
• Low pressure at high side of
compressor due to low
refrigerant level.
• No pressure in the high
pressure part of the
compressor.
