What to do if Zamil Air Conditioner compressor will not start – hums but trips on overload protector?
- SsboydAug 7, 2025
If your Zamil Air Conditioner's compressor hums but trips the overload protector, consider these potential causes and solutions: * Check the wiring against the diagram to ensure it is properly wired. * Low voltage to the unit could be the issue. Determine the reason for the low voltage and correct it. * The relay might be failing to close. Determine the reason and correct it; replace the relay if necessary. * The compressor motor may have an open or shorted winding, requiring compressor replacement. * There could be internal mechanical trouble within the compressor, also requiring replacement. * Liquid refrigerant in the compressor can cause this. Check the crankcase heater. * High discharge pressure, indicating unequalized pressure in the system, might be the problem.
