To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if my Thermo King Automobile Accessories unit did not start automatically?
If the unit did not start automatically, determine the cause for not starting. Correct as required. Continue monitoring return air temperature until reading is within desired temperature range of the setpoint.
What to do if the Thermo King Automobile Accessories return air temperature is not within the desired range?
If the return air temperature is not within the desired range, several factors could be the cause. First, review the load log history for above-temperature load records to ensure the cargo compartment was properly pre-cooled and consider the length of time on the road. If the unit is in defrost or has just completed a defrost cycle, monitor the return air temperature after the defrost cycle is completed to see if the temperature returns to the desired temperature range of the setpoint. Also, the evaporator may be plugged with frost, so initiate a manual defrost cycle. Finally, inspect the unit and cargo compartment to ensure the evaporator fans are working properly and that air circulation is not blocked by improper loading or shifting cargo.
Why is my Thermo King Automobile Accessories not cooling to the set temperature?
Several factors can prevent your Thermo King unit from cooling to the set temperature. The unit may have a low refrigerant charge; check the receiver tank sight glass for refrigerant level. If fluid is not showing, a competent refrigeration technician is required to add refrigerant or repair the system. Improper air circulation in the cargo compartment may also be the reason. Inspect the unit and cargo compartment to determine if the evaporator fans are working properly circulating the air. Poor air circulation may be due to improper loading of the cargo, shifting of the load, or fan belt slippage. Correct as required.
Why my Thermo King Automobile Accessories multi-temp unit can't cool the entire trailer?
A multi-temperature unit may not have the cooling or heating capacity to maintain a specific temperature range throughout an entire trailer if it is being used to cool/heat a single temperature load.
