Compressor cycles

Voltage

Check the voltage. See the limits on the preced-

ing page. 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.)

 

 

 

 

Fan motor

If not running, determine the cause. Replace if

 

 

required.

 

 

 

 

Condenser air flow

Remove the cabinet. Inspect the interior surface

 

restriction

of the condenser; if restricted, clean carefully

 

 

(do not damage fins). Clean the interior base before

 

 

reassembling.

 

 

 

 

Condenser fins

If condenser fins are closed over a large area

 

(damaged)

on the coil surface, head pressures will increase,

 

 

causing the compressor to cycle. Straighten the

 

 

fins or replace the coil.

 

Capacitor

Test capacitor.

 

 

 

 

Wiring

Check the terminals. If loose, repair or replace.

 

Refrigerating system

Check the system for a restriction.

Insufficient cooling or

Air filter

If restricted, clean or replace.

heating

Exhaust damper door

Close if open.

 

 

 

 

Unit undersized

Determine if the unit is properly sized for the area to

 

 

be cooled.

Excessive noise.

Blower or fan

Check the set screw or clamp. If loose or missing,

 

 

correct. If the blower or fan is hitting air guide,

 

 

rearrange the air handling parts.

 

Copper tubing

Remove the cabinet and carefully rearrange tubing

 

 

not to contact cabinet, compressor, shroud, and

Friedrich US10B30A, US14B30A, US12B10A, US08B10A, US10B10A manual Complaint Cause Remedy

US10B30A, US14B30A, US10B10A, US08B10A, US12B10A specifications

The Friedrich US12B10A, US08B10A, US10B10A, US14B30A, and US10B30A units signify a leap forward in heating and cooling technology, designed to offer efficient climate control for residential and commercial spaces. Each model boasts a range of features aimed at optimizing comfort while minimizing energy consumption.

The US12B10A model stands out with its impressive 12,000 BTU cooling capacity, making it suitable for larger rooms or spaces needing substantial cooling power. It integrates advanced inverter technology, which adjusts the compressor's speed to achieve the desired temperature with minimal energy wastage. This ensures quieter operation and improved efficiency compared to traditional cooling systems.

Meanwhile, the US08B10A is designed for smaller spaces, providing 8,000 BTU of cooling and heating capacity. Despite its compact size, it employs the same inverter technology found in its larger counterparts, guaranteeing consistent comfort without incurring high energy costs. The model is also equipped with an energy-saving mode, which further enhances its efficiency during off-peak usage.

The US10B10A unit is a versatile option that combines the features of both cooling and heating, with a balanced 10,000 BTU output. This dual functionality is ideal for transitional climates where heating needs may occasionally intersect with cooling demands. The system's user-friendly interface allows for easy adjustments between cooling and heating modes, enhancing user experience.

In contrast, the US14B30A brings a robust 14,000 BTU output, making it perfect for significantly larger spaces or commercial applications. Its energy efficiency rating is top-notch, ensuring a sustainable approach to heating and cooling. This model also features a programmable thermostat, allowing users to set specific schedules for operation, thereby optimizing energy use.

Lastly, the US10B30A also provides a robust 10,000 BTU of capacity but focuses on advanced filtration technology. With a multi-stage filtration system, it effectively captures allergens and particulate matter, contributing to improved indoor air quality. This feature is particularly beneficial for families with allergy sufferers or respiratory conditions.

Overall, the Friedrich series offers a comprehensive array of models built on the foundation of efficiency, versatility, and advanced technology, catering to various needs while promoting a sustainable future. Each unit delivers reliable performance, making them an excellent choice for anyone seeking optimized climate control solutions.
