To Next PageTo Next PageWhy are the head and vapor pressures fluctuating in my Rheem RA1442AJ1NA?
Fluctuating head and vapor pressures in your Rheem Air Conditioner can be due to TXV hunting. Check the TXV bulb clamp and the air distribution on the coil, and consider replacing the TXV. Another cause might be air or noncondensibles in the system, requiring refrigerant recovery, evacuation, and recharge.
Why do my Rheem Air Conditioner registers sweat?
Sweating registers in your Rheem Air Conditioner system are typically caused by low indoor airflow. To resolve this, increase the speed of the blower or reduce any restrictions. Also, replace the air filter.
What causes gurgling noise in Rheem RA1442AJ1NA Air Conditioner?
A gurgling or pulsing noise at the expansion device or liquid line in your Rheem Air Conditioner usually indicates air or noncondensibles in the system. To fix this, recover the refrigerant, evacuate the system, and recharge it.
Why is my Rheem RA1442AJ1NA Air Conditioner not cooling properly?
If your Rheem Air Conditioner isn't cooling enough, several factors could be responsible. The unit might be improperly sized, so recalculate the load. There could be improper indoor airflow; it should be about 400 CFM per ton. The refrigerant charge might be incorrect, so charge it according to the procedure on the unit's service panel. Air, noncondensibles, or moisture in the system can also cause this, in which case you should recover the refrigerant, evacuate, and recharge, adding a filter drier. Finally, a bad ID TXV could be the culprit, requiring replacement.
What to do if the Rheem RA1442AJ1NA outdoor fan runs but the compressor doesn't?
If the outdoor fan of your Rheem Air Conditioner is running but the compressor isn't, the issue could stem from a defective run or start capacitor, which would need replacement. Alternatively, the contactor might be defective and also require replacement. Check for correct voltage at the compressor and tighten all connections to address any loose connections. If the compressor is stuck, grounded, or has an open motor winding or internal overload, wait at least 3 hours for the overload to reset; if it remains open, replace the compressor. A low-voltage condition could also be the cause, and adding start kit components might resolve the issue.
Why does my Rheem RA1442AJ1NA Air Conditioner compressor short cycle?
If the compressor in your Rheem Air Conditioner is short cycling, it could be due to incorrect voltage. Ensure the voltage at the compressor terminals is within ± 10% of the nameplate marking when the unit is operating. Another cause could be a defective overload protector, which would need to be replaced. Also, refrigerant undercharge can cause short cycling, so add refrigerant as needed.
