TROUBLE SIGNALING
The control system in your Sidewinder is always monitoring to be sure the system is functioning properly. The
circuitry will signal if there is a problem. If signaling occurs please familiarize yourself with these signals.
NO ILLUMINATION OF THE ON/OFF SWITCH
Be sure the unit is wired in correctly and check to see if the power indicator (Red LED) next to the on/off button is
illuminated. Power to the unit is faulty or Fuse F1 or F2 may need replacing.
STEADY BEEP TONE AND BLINKING ON/OFF SWITCH
This condition indicates a loose, missing or faulty thermal sensor or that the machine is in an ambient temperature
too cold to operate properly. The Sidewinder is designed for use in ambient room temperature from 50°F (10°C) to
95°F (35°C). Otherwise, check the connection of the double white, blue, red and black wire thermal sensors where
they connect to the control board. If the connection is sound and the temperature is proper, a thermal sensor may
need replacing.
INTERMITTENT BEEP TONE WITH BLINKING ON/OFF SWITCH THAT, TOGETHER, REPEATEDLY
PAUSE AND START AT ONE SECOND INTERVALS
This condition indicates a cautionary safety shut down has occurred. Check unit for visual signs of problems. It
could be that the machine is in an ambient temperature too hot to operate properly. The Sidewinder is designed for
use in ambient room temperature from 50°F (10°C) to 95°F (35°C). Additionally or alternatively, it may be a
reaction to positioning too close to a wall, not sufficient ventilation, untimely power interruption, low refrigerant
levels, dirty or blocked condenser fins or dirty or faulty condenser fan. Fuse F4 will need replacing. If the
condition occurs check for technical support from your dealer or the factory.
INTERMITTENT BEEP TONE WITH BLINKING ON/OFF SWITCH WITHOUT PAUSE
This condition indicates a cautionary safety shut down has occurred. Check unit for visual signs of problems. It
could be thermostat sensing circuit failure. The red thermal sensor may need replacing. Call for technical support
from your dealer or the factory, a simple check with an multi-meter can determine the trouble . Fuse F3 will need
replacing.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE ACCESSING THE ELECTRONIC
CIRCUITRY
