FAULT
POSSIBLE CAUSE
REMEDY / ACTION

Investigate for refrigerant leaks, repair and
re-charge system.
Clogged filter drier (pressure / temperature
drop across it).
Replace drier cores
Condenser
Condenser fan not operating -
power on
Power supply failure.
Check power supply at circuit breaker.
Wiring to motors.
Check voltage at motor terminals.
Motor / fan assembly jammed.
