Step 4 (Comp single product operation failure)
①Inspect rotation failure by Comp Coil cutting
- Measure Common + Sub resistance
- Measure Common + Main resistance
Normal : 1~50 Ω
Failure : Open ∞Ω
Step 5 (Comp Relay Failure)
①Inspect power supply Line
- Comp operation condition is normal : AC
100~125 V
- Failure : AC voltage non-applying (Inspect
power line)
②Inspect Comp OLP(Over Load Protection)
- Normal : applying an electric current 0~1 Ω
- Failure : Open ∞Ω
③Inspect PTC Relay
- Normal : 0.8~1.4 KΩ
- Failure : Open ∞Ω
Step 6 (Gas Leak failure)
①Comp operates but, if Comp-dome & Pipe-
Condenser temperature is not high, repair
cycle shield system because it is failure of
Gas Leak & Clogged
Step 4 (When C-Fan is failure)
①When C-Fan operates or “FG” Signal is failure,
comp stops after 60min..
※ Must check “FG” failure through self-
diagnosis test, even the Fan is still rotating.
