  3. Braze service valves into the pinch-off tube ports, leaving the valves open.

  4. Braze the pinch-off tubes with Service valves.

  5. Evacuate as follows.

  6. Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated figure 28A.

  7. Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold valves A and B with two full turns counterclock-wise and leave the valves open.
    The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves A and B up to valve C by means of the manifold and entire system.
    CAUTION: If high vacuum equipment is used, just crack valves A and B for a few minutes, then open slowly with the two full turns counterclockwise. This will keep oil from foaming and being drawn into the vacuum pump.

  8. Operate the vacuum pump vaccum for 20 to 30 minutes, until 600 microns of vaccum is obtained. Close valves A and B, and observe vacuum gauge for a few minutes. A rise in pres-sure would indicate a possible leak or moisture remaining in the system. With valves A and B closed, stop the vacuum pump.

  9. Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and place it on the charging cylinder. See figure 28B. Open valve C. Discharge the line at the manifold connection.

  10. The system is now ready for final charging.

  11. Recharge as follows :

  12. Refrigeration cycle systems are charged from the High-side. If the total charge cannot be put in the High-side, the balance will be put in the suction line through the access valve which you installed as the system was opened.

  13. Connect the charging cylinder as shown in figure 28B.
    With valve C open, discharge the hose at the manifold connection.

  14. Open valve A and allow the proper charge to enter the system. Valve B is still closed.

  15. If more charge is required, the high-side will not take it. Close valve A.

  16. With the unit running, open valve B and add the balance of the charge.
    Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the Low-side.
    Watch the Low-side gauge; allow pressure to rise to 30 lbs.
    Turn off valve B and allow pressure to drop.
    Repeat steps b. and c. until the balance of the charge is in the system.

  17. When satisfied the unit is operating correctly, use the pinch-off tool with the unit still running and clamp on to the pinch-off tube. Using a tube cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos brazing and braze pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to set for a while, and then test the leakage of the pinch-off connection.

Equipment needed: Vacuum pump, Charging cylinder, Manifold gauge, Brazing equipment. Pin-off tool capable of making a vapor-proof seal, Leak detector, Tubing cutter, Hand Tools to remove components, Service valve.LG-LWHD2500ER-

Troubleshooting Guide

COMPLAINT CAUSE REMEDY
Fan motor will not run. No power Check voltage at outlet. Correct if none.
Power supply cord Check voltage to Control Box. If none, check power supply

cord. Replace cord if circuit is open.
Wire disconnected or connection loose| Connect wire. Refer to wiring diagram for terminal identification. Repair or replace loose terminal.
Capacitor (Discharge capacitor before testing.)|

  • Test capacitor.
  • Replace if not within ±10% of manufacturer’s rating. Replace if shorted, open, or damaged.

Will not rotate|

  • Fan blade hitting shroud or blower wheel hitting scroll. Realign assembly.
  • Units using slinger ring for condenser fan must have 1/4 to 5/16 inch clearance to the base. If it hits the base, shim up the bottom of the fan motor with mounting screw(s).
  • Check fan motor bearings; if motor shaft will not rotate, replace the motor.

Fan motor runs intermittently| Revolves on overload.|

  • Check voltage. If not within limits, call an electrician.
  • Test capacitor.
  • Check bearings. Does the fan blade rotate freely? If not, replace fan motor.
  • Pay attention to any change from high speed to
  • low speed. If the speed does not change, replace the motor.

Fan motor noise.| Fan| If cracked, out of balance, or partially missing, replace it.
Turbo| If cracked, out of balance, or partially missing, replace it.
Loose clamper| Tighten it.
Worn bearings| If knocking sounds continue when running or loose, replace the motor. If the motor hums or noise appears to be internal while running, replace motor.
Compressor will not run, but fan motor runs.| Voltage|

  • Check voltage.
  • If not within limits, call an electrician.

Wiring| Check the wire connections, if loose, repair or replace the terminal. If wires are off, refer to wiring diagram for identification, and replace. Check wire locations. If not per wiring diagram, correct.
COMPLAINT| CAUSE| REMEDY
---|---|---
Compressor will not run, but fan motor runs.| Thermistor| Check the TEMP control. If not at the lowest number, set TEMP control to this setting and restart the unit. Check the continuity of the thermistor. Replace the thermistor if the circuit is open.
Capacitor (Discharge capacitor before servicing.)|

  • Check the capacitor.
  • Replace if not within ±10% of manufacturers rating. Replace if shorted, open, or damaged.

Compressor| Check the compressor for open circuit or ground. If open or grounded, replace the compressor.
Overload| Check the compressor overload, if externally mount- ed. Replace if open. (If the compressor temperature is high, remove the overload, cool it, and retest.)
Compressor cycles on overload.| Voltage|

  • Check the voltage.
  • If not within limits, call an electrician.

Overload|

  • Check overload, if externally mounted.
  • Replace if open. (If the compressor temperature is high, remove the overload, cool, and retest.)

Compressor cycles on overload.| Fan motor| If not running, determine the cause. Replace if required.
Condenser air flow restriction| Remove the cabinet. inspect the interior surface of the condenser; if restricted, clean carefully with a vacuum cleaner (do not damage fins) or brush. Clean the interior base before reassembling.
Condenser fins (damaged)| If condenser fins are closed over a large area on the coil surface, head pressures will increase, causing the compressor to overload. Straighten the fins or replace the coil.
Compressor cycles on overload.| Capacitor| Test capacitor.
Wiring| Check the terminals. If loose, repair or replace.
Refrigerating system| Check the system for a restriction.
Insufficient cooling or heating| Air filter| If restricted, clean of replace.
Exhaust damper door| Close if open.
Unit undersized| Determine if the unit is properly sized for the area to be cooled.
Excessive noise| Turbo or fan| Check the set screw or clamp. If loose or missing, correct. If the turbo or fan is hitting air guide, rearrange the air handling parts.
Copper tubing| Remove the cabinet carefully and rearrange tubing not to contact cabinet, compressor, shroud, and barrier.
