FO: Refrigerant Leak Protection Lock Out.
BEFORE RESETTING ERROR CODE
STEP 1: Ensure the unit is in COOL Mode
STEP 2: Check Refrigerant Pressure
TIPS:
-
Pressure should be equal to outdoor temperature on a PT Chart
STEP 3: If pressure is lower than outdoor temp, go to Step 1 of the next section (If the unit is undercharged...)
TIPS:
-
The system is likely low on refrigerant (under-charged).
STEP 4: If pressure is equal to outdoor temp: Reset code by hard shut down
TIPS:
-
Remove disconnect or turn off the breaker for 10 to 15 minutes.
STEP 5: Turn power back on and check pressure
STEP 6: If pressure below 100PSI, go to Step 9
TIPS:
-
Pressure should drop below 100psi, then come back up over 100 PSI.
STEP 7: If pressure not below 100PSI, go to Step 8
STEP 8: Check Indoor Coil Temperature Sensor
TIPS:
STEP 9: Check the Expansion Valve
TIPS:
-
Check for corrosion on the EVV stem, Check for corrosion on the Ohm EEV coil.
STEP 10: Check for restrictions
TIPS:
-
Perform a 4-Point Temperature check.
STEP 11: Check the temperature on both sides of the strainer. If there’s a temperature difference, the strainer may be clogged.
IF UNIT IS UNDERCHARGED
STEP 1: Recover and weigh out the charge
STEP 2: Compare the amount removed to the factory charge listed on the data plate plus additional charge for line-set length
STEP 3: Locate and repair the leak
STEP 4: Minimum triple evac
TIPS:
-
Pull Vacuum, break vacuum with 100psi nitrogen 3 times, then pull the final vacuum.
STEP 5: Pull under 300 microns
TIPS:
-
Once 250 to 300 Microns is achieved, isolate the pump from the micron gauge, shut off the pump, make sure the system is sealed.
STEP 6: Weigh in the proper charge while under vacuum.
