6. Fault Finding
FAULT
REASON
SOLUTION
Air conditioner does 
not start 
Power supply not or incorrectly connected
Connect the power supply correctly
Temperature in the control cabinet is below 
the target value. 
Wait until the temperature target value is 
exceeded. The air conditioner will start by itself. 
If the target value of the control cabinet 
temperature is too high set a lower target value 
Door contact open
Close the enclosure door or bridge door contact 
connections. 
Air conditioner doesn’t 
cool the air 
Compressor faulty
The compressor must be 
changed. This process must 
be carried out by the 
manufacturer. 
Compressor protection switch has been 
activated 
Check cooling capacity. If the cooling capacity is 
too low at the operating conditions find another 
location with lower ambient temperatures or 
install an additional air conditioner 
Evaporator and/or condenser are heavily 
soiled or blocked 
The evaporator and/or compressor must be 
cleaned 
The cooling output of the air conditioner is 
too low for the heat generated by the 
components in the control cabinet 
Check cooling capacity. If the cooling capacity is 
too low at the operating conditions find another 
location with lower ambient temperatures or 
install an additional air conditioner 
Evaporator iced up
Insufficient refrigerant due to refrigerant loss 
through leaks in circuit 
Refrigerant circuit must be 
sealed and refilled. This 
process must be carried out 
by the manufacturer. 
The ambient temperature is far below the 
lower operating limit. 
Place the air conditioner in an area where the 
temperature remains within the operating limits 
The enclosure is not sealed
Seal the enclosure
Fan or fan capacitor cold side defective
Replace fan and/or fan capacitor
Heavy condensation
Enclosure door is not completely closed
Close the door
Enclosure is not sealed
Seal the enclosure
Incomplete seal at the contact surfaces 
between air conditioner and enclosure 
Seal the contact surfaces and stiffen the 
mounting surface of the enclosure if necessary 
Uneven temperature 
distribution in the 
control cabinet 
Enclosure air intake and outlet blocked or 
partially impeded by components inside 
Move components or change position of air 
conditioner 
Enclosure volume too large for air 
conditioner 
Check cooling capacity. If the cooling capacity is 
too low at the operating conditions find another 
location with lower ambient temperatures or 
install an additional air conditioner 
Short circuit of the air
Change the air guidance
Condenser fan does 
not run 
Fan defective
Replace fan
