1. PREFACE
This SERVICE MANUAL provides various service information, including the mechanical and electrical
parts etc. This room air conditioner was manufactured and assembled under a strict quality control system.
The refrigerant is charged at the factory. Be sure to read the safety precautions prior to servicing the unit.
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. When servicing the unit, turn off the air conditioner
and unplug the power cord.
2. Observe the original lead dress.
If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which
have been overheated or damaged by the short
circuit.
3. After servicing the unit, make an insulation
resistance test to protect the customer from being
exposed to shock hazards.
1.2 INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST
1. Unplug the power cord and connect a jumper
between 2 pins (black and white).
2. The grounding conductor (green or green & yellow)
is to be open.
3. Measure the resistance value with an ohm meter
between the jumpered lead and each exposed
metallic part on the equipment.
4. The value should be over 1MΩ.

CAUTION

—15—
—Replacement of the refrigeration cycle.
1. When replacing refrigeration components, be sure
to discharge the refrigerant system using a FreonTM
recovery System.
Install a valve for the recovery, before venting the
Freon, remove the valve when finished.
2. After discharging the unit completely, remove the
desired component, and unbraze the pinch-off
tubes.
3. Solder service valves into the pinch-off tube ports,
leaving the valves open.
4. Solder the pinch-off tubes with Service valves.
5. Evacuate as follows.
1) Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated Fig.
17A.
2) Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold
valves A and B with two full turns
counterclockwise and leave the valves closed.
The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves
A and B up to valve C by means of the manifold
and entire system.
3) Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes,
until 600 microns of vacuum is obtained. Close
valves A and B, and observe vacuum gauge for
a few minutes. A rise in pressure would
indicate a possible leak or moisture remaining in
the system. With valves A and B closed, stop
the vacuum pump.
4) Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and
place it on the charging cylinder. See Fig. 17B.
Open valve C.
Discharge the line at the manifold connection.
5) The system is now ready for final charging.
6. Recharge as follows :
1) Refrigeration cycle systems are charged from the
High-side. If the total charge cannot be put
in the High-side, the balance will be put in the
suction line through the access valve which you
installed as the system was opened.
2) Connect the charging cylinder as shown in Fig. 17B.
With valve C open, discharge the hose at the
manifold connection.
3) Open valve A and allow the proper charge to
enter the system. Valve B is still closed.
4) If more charge is required, and the high-side will
not
take it. Close valve A.
5) With the unit running, open valve B and add the
balance of the charge.
a. Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the Low-
side.
b. Watch the Low-side gauge; allow pressure to
rise to 39 lbs.
c. Turn off valve B and allow pressure to drop.
d. Repeat steps B and C until the balance of the
charge is in the system.
6) When satisfied the unit is operating correctly,
use the pinch-off tool with the unit still running
and clamp on to the pinch-off tube. Using a tube
cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from
the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder
pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to
set for a while, and then test for leakage add the
pinch-off connection.
NOTES
If high vacuum equipment is used, just crack
valves A and B for a few minutes, then open
slowly with the two full turns counterclockwise.
This will keep oil from foaming and being
drawn into the vacuum pump.
CAUTION

3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
In general, possible trouble is classified in two causes.
One is called Starting Failure which is caused from an electrical defect, and the other is Ineffective Air Conditioning
caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and/or improper application.
Unit is running but cooling is ineffective
Ineffective Cooling
Check outdoor coil
(heat exchanger) & the fan
operation.
Check gas leakage.
Repair gas leak.

Check voltage at outlet. Correct if none.
Connect wire. Refer to wiring diagram for terminal
identification. Repair or replace loose terminal.
Test capacitor.
Replace if not within ±10% of manufacturer's
rating. Replace if shorted, open, or damaged.
Fan blade hitting shroud or blower wheel hitting
scroll. Realign assembly.
Units using slinger ring condenser fans must
have 1/4to 5/16 inch clearance to the base. If it is
hitting the base, shim up the bottom of the fan
motor with mounting screw(s).
Check fan motor bearings; if motor shaft will not
rotate, replace the motor.
Check voltage. See limits on page 17. If not within
limits, call an electrician.
Test capacitor.
Check bearings. Does the fan blade rotate freely?
If not, replace fan motor.
Pay attention to any change from high speed to
low speed. If the speed does not change, replace
the motor.
Check grommets; if worn or missing, replace them.
If cracked, out of balance, or partially missing,
replace it.
If cracked, out of balance, or partially missing,
