Short belt life
Worn sheaves Replace sheaves.
Misaligned belt Realign drive with MVP sheave set at mean pitch diameter.
Grease or oil on belts Check for leaky bearings. Clean belts and sheaves.
Belt slipping Improper belt tension. Adjust tension.
Belts rubbing Remove obstruction or realign drive for clearance.
Bearing noise
Poor alignment
Loosen bearing set screws and realign (see “Align Fan and Motor
Sheaves,” p. 132)
Failed bearing Replace bearing.
Inadequate lubrication Replace bearing.
Low water coil
capacity
Incorrect airflow Check fan operating condition.
Incorrect water flow
Inspect the water pumps and valves for proper operation and check the
lines for obstructions.
Incorrect water temperature Adjust the chiller or boiler to provide the proper water temperature.
Coil is piped incorrectly Verify coil piping (see “Piping and Connections,” p. 101).
Dirty fin surface Clean the fin surface (see “Coils,” p. 145).
Incorrect glycol mixture Verify glycol mixture and adjust if necessary.
Low refrigerant
coil capacity
Incorrect airflow Check fan operating condition.
Expansion valve is not operating properly or is sized
incorrectly
Check sensing bulb temperature.
Verify valve operation.
Verify proper valve size.
Incorrect refrigerant charge Verify refrigerant charge and adjust if necessary.
Condensing unit failure Verify condensing unit operation.
Coil is piped incorrectly Verify coil piping (see “Piping and Connections,” p. 101).

Dirty fin surface
Clean the fin surface (see “Coils,” p. 145).
Do not use steam to clean refrigerant coils.
Fin frosting
Verify defrost cycle operation.
Verify frostat operation.
Verify refrigerant charge.
Low steam coil
capacity
Incorrect airflow Check fan operating condition.
Coil is piped incorrectly Verify coil piping (see “Piping and Connections,” p. 101).
