Excessive Refrigerant or Insufficient Condenser Cooling

Measured pressure
Low-pressure side: 34.1 psi
(235 kPa, 2.40 kg/Sq.cm)

High-pressure side: 327 psi
(2,256 kPa, 23.0 kg/Sq.cm)

Condition
Insufficient cooling.






NOTE: If condenser fan does not operate when air conditioner is operating, refer to "Condenser Fan Does Not Operate" before proceeding.

Step 1
