Introduction This service manual is designed to be used in conjunction with the installation manuals provided with each air conditioning system component. Air conditioning systems consist of BOTH an evaporator (indoor section) and a condenser (outdoor section) in one closed system, and a room thermostat. When so equipped, accessories such as electric strip heaters are also considered part of the system. This service manual was written to assist the professional HVAC service technician to qu

Room Thermostats Thermostat Location Room thermostats are available from several different manufacturers in a wide variety of styles. They range from the very simple Bimetallic type to the complex electronic set-back type. In all cases, no matter how simple or complex, they are simply a switch (or series of switches) designed to turn equipment (or components) "ON" or "OFF" at the desired conditions. An improperly operating, or poorly located room thermostat can be the source of perceive

Checking Reversing Valve NOTE: You must have normal operating pressures before the reversing valve can shift. Check for proper refrigerant charge. Sluggish or sticky reversing valves can sometimes be remedied by reversing the valve several time with the airfl ow restricted to increase system pressure. To raise head pressure during the cooling season the airfl ow through the outdoor coil can be restricted . During heating the indoor air can be restricted by blocking the return air. Dented or
