    Why is my York Chiller showing a 'Low Suction' fault?
    • N
      Nichole ClarkAug 15, 2025
      If your York Chiller is showing a 'Low Suction' fault, adjust per recommended settings and restart the unit. The fault may be caused by improper suction pressure cut-out adjustment, low refrigerant charge, a fouled filter drier, thermal expansion valve adjustment/failure, reduced chilled liquid flow, a defective suction pressure transducer, a fouled compressor suction strainer, or faulty wiring to the transducer.

    Why does my York RecipPak YEAJ77MT9 Chiller show a 'High Dsch' fault?
    • A
      Andre KingAug 18, 2025
      If your York Chiller cuts out due to high discharge pressure, check the condenser fans, fuses, and contactors. The causes can be in condenser fans not operating or rotating backwards, too much refrigerant, air in the refrigerant system, defective discharge pressure transducer, incorrect Programmable H.P. Cut-out setting, or incorrect OAT sensor reading.

    What to do if my York Chiller displays a 'Low Oil Press' fault?
    • S
      Susan ReeseAug 21, 2025
      If you're seeing a 'Low Oil Press' fault on your York Chiller, the oil level should be visible in the sight glass at all times. Add YORK ?C? oil if necessary. The cause may be low oil charge, too much refrigerant in the oil (particularly on start-up), Liquid Line Solenoid Valve (LLSV) not operating, or defective Suction/Oil Pressure Transducer or wiring.

    How to troubleshoot a York RecipPak YEAJ77MT9 Chiller with no display on the panel?
    • B
      brianna78Aug 25, 2025
      If there is no display on the panel and the York Chiller unit will not operate, check the wiring and fuses (1 FU and 2 FU), and emergency stop contacts 5 to 1. Also, check the wiring from 2T to the Power Supply Board. If these steps don't resolve the issue, replace 2T or the Power Supply Board, or isolate any excessive load on the board. The cause may be no 115VAC to 2T, no 24VAC to the Power Supply Board, a defective 2T with no 24VAC output, or no +12V output from the Power Supply Board.

    What does '?NO RUN PERM?' mean on my York Chiller and how do I fix it?
    • C
      cooperrichardAug 27, 2025
      If your York Chiller displays a '?NO RUN PERM?' message, check the chilled liquid flow and ensure the flow switch is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Replace the flow switch if defective. Also, check any cycling devices connected to terminals 13 & 14 of the TB3 Terminal Block, and ensure the 'System' switch is in the ON position. The issue may be due to no flow, an improperly installed or defective flow switch, a remote cycling device being open, or the 'System' switch being in the OFF position. Place switches to the ON position.

    What causes a 'High Ambient Temp' fault on my York RecipPak YEAJ77MT9 Chiller?
    • A
      April ArmstrongAug 30, 2025
      If your York Chiller displays a 'High Ambient Temp' fault, verify the actual ambient temperature at the probe is within +10°F of a thermometer placed next to the OAT sensor. The fault may be caused by the temperature being sensed incorrectly by the thermistor, fans rotating backwards, restricted or re-circulated airflow to the unit, or a high ambient cut-out set too low.

    How to resolve low compressor oil level on York RecipPak YEAJ77MT9 Chiller?
    • R
      Randy PerezSep 2, 2025
      If you observe a low compressor oil level, especially during start-up of your York Chiller, ensure the oil level is visible in the sight glass at all times and add YORK 'C' oil if necessary. This issue can be caused by a low oil charge or excessive flood back of liquid refrigerant.

    What to do if my York RecipPak YEAJ77MT9 shows a 'Low Water Temp' fault?
    • A
      Amy GravesSep 5, 2025
      If your York Chiller experiences a low water temperature shutdown, and you have RWT Control ONLY, increase flow or increase the control range to match actual evaporator temperature difference. Also check the LWT cut-out point on the panel. The issue may be due to the control range being too small, the LWT cut-out point on panel, or a defective LWT or RWT sensor.

    Why won't the compressor load on my York Chiller?
    • E
      Eric RogersSep 8, 2025
      If the compressor on your York Chiller won't load, check the operating limitations for excessive load. The causes may be suction pressure greater than the programmed unload point, discharge pressure greater than the programmed load point, insufficient demand, a defective loading solenoid, faulty wiring to the loading solenoid, a defective water temperature sensor, or a defective evaporator/optional discharge transducer.

    What does it mean when my York RecipPak YEAJ77MT9 shows a 'Low Ambient Temp' fault?
    • L
      Lisa GonzalezSep 12, 2025
      If your York Chiller displays a 'Low Ambient Temp' fault, no problem exists. The cause can be the temperature of outside air being below the cutout setting, the temperature being sensed incorrectly by the thermistor, or the low ambient temperature Cut-out setting on the display.
