Note: Follow arrows to first unlit LED in control (green) ladder or power (amber) ladder to determine problem area.
F o r contactor LED to be On, all control LEDs (green) as well as 230V LED (amber) must already be on, and contactor must operate
properly

compressor tripped
--- Check Contactor and replace if necessary
--- Check wire connections for shorts

--- Contactor stuck closed,
compressor running
--- Check Contactor and replace if necessary
--- Check wire connections for shorts
*Compressor not running: If all LEDs are on except the Compressor, this indicates that power is applied to the compressor but it is not running. Check the
following sequence:
1) Check all compressor wire connections
2) Check run capacitor and replace if necessary
3) Try starting compressor
4) If compressor LED does not come on, then leave unit in standby for up to four hours to allow thermal protector to reset, and all pressures to equalize
5) Try starting the compressor again
6) If compressor LED comes on, then turns off quickly, investigate starting issues such as low line voltage
7) If compressor LED never comes on, compressor may be faulty.
