COMPONENT OPERATION AND TESTING
WARNING
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO
THE UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR
TESTING
COMPRESSORS
Compressors are single phase, 208/230 volt.
All compressor motors are permanent split
capacitor type, using only a running capacitor
across the start and run terminal.
All compressors are internally spring mounted
and externally mounted on rubber isolators.
Line Voltage Overload
FIGURE 2 TYPICAL GROUND TEST
COMPRESSOR WINDING TEST
(See Figure 1.)
Remove the compressor terminal box cover
and disconnect the wires from the terminals.
Using an ohmmeter, check continuity across
the following:
The compressor is equipped with an internal
line voltage overload. This overload is
embedded in the windings of the motor to
sense the motor temperature. The overload will
open and disconnect the power to the motor
due to high temperatures caused by:
1.A locked rotor.
2.Excessive running amps.
3.High discharge temperature.
4.Low refrigerant charge.
FIGURE 1 COMPRESSOR WINDING TEST
Testing Procedures
1. Terminal "C" and "S" - no continuity open winding - replace compressor.
2. Terminal "C" and "R" - no continuity open winding - replace compressor.
3. Terminal "R" and "S" - no continuity
open winding - replace compressor.
4. Terminal "C" and the shell of the
compressor – continuity – grounded
motor – replace compressor.
5. Should continuity exist between
terminals "R" and "S", but not
between terminals "C" and "S" and
"C" and "R", the internal overload
may be open. If the compressor is
extremely hot, allow it sufficient time
to cool. It may require as long as one
hour for the compressor to cool
sufficiently for the internal overload to
close.

GROUND TEST
Use an ohmmeter set on its highest scale.
Touch one lead to the compressor body (clean
point of contact, as a good connection is a
must) and the other probe in turn to each
compressor terminal. (See Figure 2.) If a
reading is obtained, the compressor is
grounded and must be replaced.

CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY
The reason for compressor inefficiency is
normally due to broken or damaged suction
and/or discharge valves, reducing the ability of
the compressor to pump refrigerant gas.
This condition can be checked as
follows:
1. Install a piercing valve on the suction and
discharge or liquid process tube.
F AN MOTOR
A 230 volt single phase permanent split
capacitor motor is used to drive the evaporator
blower and condenser fan. A running capacitor
is wired across the start and run terminals of
the motor.
The motor is totally enclosed and is protected
with a line voltage overload located internally of
the motor. The motor shaft is stainless steel to
resist corrosion.
F AN MOTOR – TEST
Disconnect power to the unit.
1. Determine that the capacitor is
serviceable.
2. Disconnect the black lead from the circuit
board.
3. Apply "live" test cord leads to the
common terminal of the capacitor and the
black lead. The motor should run at high
speed.
FIGURE 5 SWITCH, ON-OFF
2. Attach gages to the high and low sides of
the system.
3. Start the system and run a "cooling or
heating performance test."
If test shows:
A. Below normal high side pressure.
B. Above normal low side pressure.
C. Low temperature difference across the
coil.
The compressor valves are
faulty - replace the compressor.
SYSTEM CONTROL SWITCH
(Figure 5)
This switch is double pole, single throw. Check
for continuity between terminals 2 and 3, and 5
and 6.

CAP ACITOR – TEST
FIGURE 5 FAN MOTOR
CAP ACITOR, RUN
A run capacitor is wired across the auxiliary and
main winding of a single phase permanent split
capacitor motor such as the compressor and
fan motors. A single capacitor can be used for
each motor or a dual rated capacitor can be
used for both.
The capacitor’s primary function is to reduce
the line current while greatly improving the
torque characteristics of a motor. The capacitor
also reduces the line current to the motor by
improving the power factor of the load. The line
side of the capacitor is marked with a red dot
and is wired to the line side of the circuit. (See
Figure 6.)
FIGURE 6 RUN CAPACITOR HOOK–UP

MOTOR
1. Remove the capacitor from the unit.
2. Check for visual damage such as bulges,
cracks, or leaks.
3. For dual rated capacitors, apply an
ohmmeter lead to the common (C) terminal and
the other probe to the compressor (HERM)
terminal. A satisfactory capacitor will cause a
deflection on the pointer, then gradually move
back to infinity.
4. Reverse the leads of the probe and
momentarily touch the capacitor terminals. The
deflection of the pointer should be two times
that of the first check if the capacitor is good.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to check the fan
motor capacitor.
NOTE: A shorted capacitor will indicate a
low resistance and the pointer will move
more to the “0” end of the scale and remain
there as long as the probes are connected.
An open capacitor will show no movement of
the pointer when placed across the
terminals of the capacitor.
THERMOSTAT
A cross ambient
thermostat is
used to maintain
the desired
comfort level.
The thermostat
reacts only to a
change in
temperature at
the bulb location.
