Basic te
st
procedure
11 Basic test procedure
11.1 Defective compressor
Compressors are single phase, 115 or 120 volt, depending on the model unit. 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.
11.1.1 Compressor wiring test
Remove compressor terminal box cover and disconnect wires from terminals. Using an ohmmeter,
check continuity across the following:
Terminal "C" and "S" - no continuity
- Open winding - replace compressor.
Terminal "C" and "R" - no continuity
- Open winding - replace compressor.
Terminal "R" and "S" - no continuity
- Open winding - replace compressor.
11.1.2 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.
11.1.3 Checking the 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.
2. Attach gauges to the high and low sides of the system.
3. Start the system and run a “cooling or heating performance test.”
Page 22
21
Basic te
st
procedure
If test shows:
A. Below normal high side pressure.
B. Above normal low side pressure.
C. Low temperature difference across coil.
The compressor valves are faulty - replace the compressor.
11.1.4 Terminal overload (external)
Some compressors are equipped with an external overload which is located in the compressor
terminal box adjacent to the compressor body The overload is wired in series with the common
motor terminal. The overload senses both major amperage and compressor temperature. High
motor temperature or amperage heats the disc causing it to open and break the circuit to the
common motor terminal.
Heat generated within the compressor shell is usually due to:
1. High amperage.
2. Low refrigerant charge.
3. Frequent recycling.
4. Dirty condenser.
11.1.5 Terminal overload (internal)
Some model compressors are equipped with an internal overload. The overload is embedded in the
motor windings to sense the winding temperature and/or current draw. The overload is connected in
series with the common motor terminal.
Should the internal temperature and/or current draw become excessive; the contacts in the overload
will open, turning off the compressor? The overload will automatically reset, but may
require
several
hours before the heat is dissipated.
11.1.6 Checking the internal overload
1. With no power to unit, remove the leads from the compressor terminals.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test continuity between terminals C-S and C-R. If not continuous, the
compressor overload is open and the compressor must be replaced.
11.2 Sealed refrigeration system repairs
11.2.1 Equipment require
1. Voltmeter
2. Ammeter
3. Ohmmeter
4. E.P.A. Approved Refrigerant Recovery System.
Page 23
22
Basic te
st
procedure
5. Vacuum Pump (capable of 200 microns or less vacuum.)
6. Acetylene Welder
7. Electronic Halogen Leak Detector (G.E. Type H-6 or equivalent.)
8. Accurate refrigerant charge measuring device such as:
a. Balance Scales - 1/2 oz. accuracy b.
Charging Board - 1/2 oz. accuracy
9. High Pressure Gauge - (0 - 400 lbs.)
10. Low Pressure Gauge - (30 - 150 lbs.)
11. Vacuum Gauge - (0 - 1000 microns)
11.2.2 Equipment must be capable of:
1. Recovery CFC's as low as 5%.
2. Evacuation from both the high side and low side of the system simultaneously.
3. Introducing refrigerant charge into high side of the system.
4. Accurately weighing the refrigerant charge actually introduced into the system.
5. Facilities for flowing nitrogen through refrigeration tubing during all brazing processes.
11.2.3 Hermetic compressor
repl
ace
ment.
The following procedure applies when replacing components in the sealed refrigeration circuit or
repairing refrigerant leaks. (Include Compressor, condenser, evaporator, capillary tube, refrigerant
leaks, etc.)
1. Recover the refrigerant from the system at the process tube located on the high side of the system
by installing a line tap on the process tube. Apply gauge from process tube to EPA approved
gauges
from process tube to EPA approved recovery system. Recover CFCs in system to at least 5%.
2. Cut the process tube below pinch off on the suction side of the compressor.
3. Connect the line from the nitrogen tank to the suction process tube.
4. Drift dry nitrogen through the system and unsolder the more distant connection first. (Filter drier,
high side process tube, etc.)
5. Replace inoperative component, and always install a new filter drier. Drift dry nitrogen through
the system when making these connections.
6. Pressurize system to 30 PSIG with proper refrigerant and boost refrigerant pressure to 150 PSIG
with dry nitrogen.
7. Leak test complete system with electric halogen leak detector, correcting any leaks found.
8. Reduce the system to zero gauge pressure.
9. Connect vacuum pump to high side and low side of system with deep vacuum hoses, or copper
tubing. (Do not use regular hoses.)
10. Evacuate system to maximum absolute holding pressure of 200 microns or less. NOTE: This
process can be speeded up by use of heat lamps, or by breaking the vacuum with refrigerant or dry
nitrogen at 5,000 microns. Pressure system to 5 PSIG and leave in system a minimum of 10
minutes. Recover refrigerant, and proceed with evacuation of a pressure of 200 microns or a
minimum of 10%.
11. Break vacuum by charging system from the high side with the correct amount of refrigerant
specified. This will prevent boiling the oil out of the crankcase.
NOTE: If the entire charge will not enter the high side, allow the remainder to enter the low side in
Page 24
23
Basic te
st
procedure
small increments while operating the unit.
12. Restart unit several times after allowing pressures to stabilize. Pinch off process tubes, cut and
solder the ends. Remove pinch off tool, and leak check the process tube ends.
11.2.4 Special procedure in the case of compressor motor burnout.
1. Recover all refrigerant and oil from the system.
2. Remove compressor, capillary tube and filter drier from the system.
3. Flush evaporator condenser and all connecting tubing with dry nitrogen or equivalent, to remove
all contamination from system. Inspect suction and discharge line for carbon deposits. Remove and
clean if necessary.
4. Reassemble the system, including new drier strainer and capillary tube.
5. Proceed with processing as outlined under hermetic component replacement.
11.2.5 Rotary compressor special troubleshooting and service
Basically, troubleshooting and servicing rotary compressors is the same as on the reciprocating
compressor with only a few exceptions.
1. Because of the spinning motion of the rotary, the mounts are critical. If vibration is present,
check the mounts carefully.
2. The electrical terminals on the rotary are in a different order than the reciprocating compressors.
The terminal markings are on the cover gasket. Use your wiring diagram to insure correct
connections.
11.2.6 Refrigerant charge
1. The refrigerant charge is extremely critical. It must be measured charge carefully - as exact as
possible to the nameplate charge.
2. The correct method for charging the rotary is to introduce liquid refrigerant into the high side of
the system with the unit off. Then start compressor and enter the balance of the charge, gas only,
into the low side.
The introduction of liquid into the low side, without the use of a capillary tube, will cause damage
to the discharge valve of the rotary compressor.
NOTE: All inoperative compressors returned to Friedrich must have all lines properly plugged
with the plugs from the replacement compressor.
11.3 Fan motor
A single phase permanent split capacitor motor is used to drive the evaporator blower and
condenser fan. A self-resetting overload is located inside the motor to protect against high
temperature and high amperage conditions.
11.3.1 Fan motor test
1. Determine that capacitor is serviceable.
2. Disconnect fan motor wires from fan speed switch or system switch.
3. Apply "live" test cord probes on black wire and common terminal of capacitor. Motor should
run at high speed.

Basic te
st
procedure
4. Apply "live" test cord probes on red wire and common terminal of capacitor. Motor should run
at low speed.
5. Apply "live" test cord probes on each of the remaining wires from the speed switch or system
switch to test intermediate speeds.
11.4 Capacitor
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 motor. 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. Run capacitor hook-up line side of the capacitor is marked with a red
dot and is wired to the line side of the circuit
11.4.1 Capacitor test
1. Remove capacitor from unit.
2. Check for visual damage such as bulges, cracks, or leaks.
3. For dual rated, apply an ohmmeter lead to common (C) terminal and the other probe to the
compressor (HERM) terminal. A satisfactory capacitor will cause a deflection on the pointer, and
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 fan motor capacitor.
NOTE: A shorted capacitor will indicate a low resistance and the pointer will move 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.

Check voltage. Call an electrician if not within limits. Test capacitor.
Replace if not within +/-10% of manufacture's rating. Check bearings. Replace the motor if the blower wheel cannot rotate freely.
Fan motor runs intermittently
Cycles on overload.
Pay attention to any change from high speed to low speed. Replace the motor if the speed does not change.
Refrigerant
The amount of the refrigerant is too much, making the compressor load too big. Recycle and recharge the refrigerant after checking for the reason.
Compressor stops instantly after startup.
Compressor
The compressor is blocked inside. Replace after checking for the reason.
No power Check voltage at electrical outlet. Correct if none. Water alarm Check and correct if water alarm happens.
Power supply cord
Check voltage at the power cord terminal on Main PCB. Replace the power cord if none.
