CSR-20 & CSR-40, September 1999
Refrigeration System Diagnosis and Service Visual Inspection and Diagnosis Chart 6-3
Potential Problem Alarm Codes Inspect/Check for
Low Refrigerant Charge -55, -56, -64 and - Defective container insulation
(unit not cooling) -82 - Poor fitting container doors
- Partial obstruction in high side
- Partial obstruction in low side or filter drier
- Iced or plugged evaporator coil
- Expansion valve feeler bulb improperly mounted, poorly insu-
lated or making poor contact
- Expansion valve power element lost its charge
- Shortage of refrigerant: Inspect refrigeration system for signs
of oil loss. Locate and repair leak.
- Compressor inefficient
- Expansion valve partially closed by ice, dirt or wax
Obstruction in Low or -50, -51, -55, -56, Frosted or sweating suction line:
High Side -64, -82 and -85 - Expansion valve admitting excess refrigerant
- Evaporator coil needs defrosting
- Restricted airflow through the evaporator coil
Dry, warm suction line:
- Restricted filter drier
- Shortage of refrigerant: Inspect refrigeration system for signs
of oil loss. Locate and repair leak.
- Expansion valve partially closed by ice, dirt or wax
- Expansion valve power element lost its charge
- Modulation valve stuck closed
Frosted liquid line:
- Restricted filter drier
Hot liquid line:
- Expansion valve open too wide
- Shortage of refrigerant: Inspect refrigeration system for signs
of oil loss. Locate and repair leak.
High Refrigerant Charge -50, -51 and -85 - Condenser coil dirty or airflow restricted
- Defective water pressure switch (option)
- Insufficient water flow rate or plugged water-cooled con-
denser-receiver tank (option)
- Restricted filter drier
- Restricted lines on high side
- Air in refrigeration system
- Overcharge of refrigerant: Install service valves and gauge
manifold set. Check system operating pressures. After all
other components have been checked, remove refrigerant
charge and weight in new charge
