The compressor starts but the relay does not open
1 Electrical connections incorrect.
2 Low voltage at compressor.
3 Relay locked closed.
C
4 Excessive discharge pressure.
5 Electric motor – winding interrupted or in short
circuit.
Thermal circuit breaker intervention
1 Low voltage at compressor (three-phase motor –
phase imbalance).
2 Thermal circuit breaker faulty.
3 Faulty run capacitor.
4 Excessive discharge pressure.
D
5 High suction pressure.
6 Compressor overheated - hot return gas.
7 Electric motor – winding interrupted or in short
circuit.
The compressor starts and runs at brief operating
cycles
1 Thermal circuit breaker.
2 Thermostat.
3 High-pressure
insufficient condenser cooling.
E
4 High-pressure switch intervention due to excess
refrigerant gas charge.
5 Low-pressure
insufficient refrigerant gas charge.
6 Low-pressure
expansion valve restriction or blockage.
The compressor runs continuously or for long periods
1 Insufficient refrigerant gas charge.
2 Thermostat contacts blocked in the closed

4 Reduce the charge or improve the
insulation, if possible.
5 Defrost.
6 Identify the cause and remove it.
7 Clean the condenser.
1 Replace with a capacitor of the correct
type.
1 Replace with a relay of the correct type.
2 Fit the relay in the correct position.
3 Replace with a capacitor of the correct
type.
