Fault Analysis and Troubleshooting for Air Conditioner


1. The principle of troubleshooting
From indoor to outdoor, side parts to central components, fan motor to compressor. Please listen to and ask the user carefully about the fault and information related, then make a judgment based on your experience and check the units regarding the fault description. Please do not remove any part blindly or the fault might be expanded.

2. Preparations for troubleshooting
1) Please check whether the power supply has voltage and whether the voltage is in accordance with the operation requirements of A/C (single phase: 198V-242V; three phases: 342V-418V);
2) Please check whether the power wire, the indoor and outdoor connecting line is correct and reliable;
3) Please check whether the wire insulation is damaged.

Probable reasons
Probable reasons
Probable reasons
Solutions
whole unit is out of work
no power supply


wait for the power supply
leakage switch trips
switch fault

replace the leakage switch
winding insulation of fan motor is cracked

replace the fan motor
winding insulation of compressor is cracked

replace the compressor
compressor is blocked
rotor is cracked
replace the compressor
winding of transformer is open circuit


replace the transformer
fuse on the PCB is open circuit


replace the fuse
PCB fault
7805 component fault

replace the 7805 component or PCB
No cooling effect
setting of the remote controller is improper


set the remote controller properly
fan motor is out of work
PCB has no output
relay is out of work
replace the relay or PCB
chip is out of work
replace the chip or PCB
capacitor decays completely

replace the capacitor
bearing of the fan motor is blocked deadly

replace the fan motor
winding of fan motor is open circuit

replace the fan motor
compressor is out of work
PCB has no output
relay is out of work
replace the relay or PCB
chip is out of work
replace the chip or PCB
capacitor decays

replace the capacitor
winding of compressor is open circuit

replace the compressor
compressor is blocked
rotor is cracked
replace the compressor
compressor is not sucking or   discharging
rotor is cracked
replace the compressor
no refrigerant
leakage

find the leakage points and fill refrigerant after repairing welding.
poor cooling
The setting temp of the remote controller is too high.


Turn down the setting temp.
room is not sealed enough


seal the room
filter is too dirty


clean the filter
evaporator or condenser is too dirty


clean the evaporator or condenser
revolving speed of fan motor is slow
capacitor decays

replace the capacitor
winding resistance of fan motor is less than normal

replace the fan motor
refrigerant is not enough
leakage

find the leakage points and fill refrigerant after repairing welding
poor air exhaustion
it’s blocked with sundries

clean the sundries
Noisy
fan blade vibrates
fan blade is cracked

replace the fan blade
bearing of fan motor is wearing


replace the fan motor
water leakage
water plate is filth blockage


clean up the dirty stuff
evaporator is too dirty


clean the evaporator
evaporator frost
refrigerant is not enough

find the leakage points and fill refrigerant after repairing welding
revolving speed of fan motor is too slow
capacitor decays
replace the capacitor
winding resistance of fan motor is less than normal
replace the fan motor
Cannot remote controlling
strong light resource exists nearby


replace the A/C or adjust position of the light resource
remote controller fault
remote controller is locked

open the remote controller
no battery or the battery lacks of power

put the battery in or replace the battery
remote controller damaged

replace the remote controller
receiver doesn’t receive signal


replace the receiver or PCB
