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.
