    What to do if Zamil Air Conditioner compressor will not start, hums but trips on overload protector?
    • J
      Jonathan ShortAug 13, 2025
      If your Zamil Air Conditioner compressor hums but trips on the overload protector, the following could be the cause: * **Improperly wired:** Check the wiring against the diagram. * **Low voltage to unit:** Determine the reason and correct it. * **Starting capacitor defective:** Determine the reason and replace it. * **Relay failing to close:** Determine the reason and correct it; replace if necessary. * **Compressor motor has a winding open or shorted:** Replace the compressor. * **Internal mechanical trouble in compressor:** Replace the compressor. * **Liquid refrigerant in compressor:** Check the crank case heater. * **High discharge pressure:** Unequilized pressure in the system.

      Carrie HuntAug 21, 2025
      If the evaporator in your Zamil Air Conditioner is icing up, consider the following possible causes and solutions: * **Restricted airflow:** Check for dirt or lint on the coil. * **Dirty air filter:** Clean or replace the air filter periodically. * **Short of refrigerant:** Check the system pressure, take a superheat reading, and add refrigerant as needed. * **Low air volume:** Check for a dirty air filter or loose belt. * **Restricted distributor tube:** Check for a warm distributor tube. * **Restricted liquid line/low liquid line pressure:** Check for restrictions in the lines and improve liquid line pressure by proper charging or installing a fan cycling switch, etc.

    What causes my Zamil Air Conditioner unit to run OK, but short cycles frequently?
    • C
      Christopher KellyAug 26, 2025
      If your Zamil Air Conditioner unit runs okay but short cycles frequently, here’s what might be happening: * **Overload protector:** Check the cause. * **Thermostat:** If the differential is set too close, widen it. * **High pressure cut-out due to:** * Insufficient air: Check airflow to the condenser and correct it. * Overcharge: Reduce the refrigerant charge. * Air in system: Purge the system. * **Low pressure cut-out due to:** * Undercharge: Fix any leaks and add refrigerant. * Restriction in expansion device: Replace the device.

    Why Zamil Air Conditioner compressor starts, but does not switch off the start winding?
    • S
      steelejaclynAug 29, 2025
      If your Zamil Air Conditioner compressor starts but does not switch off the start winding, here are potential causes: * **Improperly wired:** Check the wiring against the diagram. * **Low voltage to unit:** Determine the reason and correct it. * **Relay failing to open:** Determine the reason and correct it; replace if necessary. * **Run capacitor defective:** Determine the reason and replace it. * **Excessively high discharge pressure:** Check the discharge shut off valve; there may be a possible overcharge, or insufficient cooling on the condenser. * **Compressor motor has a winding open or shorted:** Replace the compressor. * **Internal mechanical trouble in compressor stuck up or frozen:** Replace the compressor.

    Why does my Zamil Air Conditioner compressor start and run, but short cycles on overload protector?
    • M
      Mr. Kenneth Cervantes DDSNov 7, 2025
      If the compressor in your Zamil Air Conditioner starts and runs but short cycles on the overload protector, consider these possibilities: 1. **Additional current passing through overload protector:** Check the wiring diagram and inspect for added fan motors or pumps connected to the wrong side of the protector. 2. **Low voltage to unit (or unbalanced if three phase):** Determine the reason and correct it. 3. **Overload protector defective:** Check the current and replace the protector if necessary. 4. **Run capacitor defective:** Determine the reason and replace it. 5. **Excessive discharge pressure:** Check airflow across the condenser coil and look for restrictions in the refrigeration system. 6. **Suction pressure too high:** Check for the possibility of misapplication and consid...
