Probable cause
Expansion valves defective or out
of adjustment.
Compressor defective.
Insufficient volume of air passing
through condenser coil.
Refrigerant overcharged.
Defective solenoid valve.
Incorrectly set or defective expan-
sion valves.
Lack of refrigerant.
Insufficient airflow across evapora-
Corrective action
Replace or adjust valves as re-
quired (para 5-17 or 5-18).
Replace compressor (para 5-23).
Service condenser coil and screen
(para 3-8).
Remove small amount of refriger-
ant.
Replace (para 5-14).
Adjust or replace (para 5–17).
Check refrigerant level in sight
