Most cases are due to prolonged
partial load operation. In this case,
replace indicator cam.
* Indicator cam that is currently
manufactured has reinforced

pressor push rod
Guide pin of compressor push rod is
currently reinforced as well.
However, if only indicator cam has
reinforced groove, wear of guide pin
might occur. Replace dowel pin.

If cased by aging degradation or
prolonged partial load operation,
replace potentiometer.
If cased by excessive vibration of
compressor, take vibration
reduction measures, and then
