Possible Problem List

Corrective Action List

 

 

Filter and/or condenser is dirty.

Clean the filter and condenser.

 

 

Water filtration is plugged (if used).

WATER SYSTEM CHECKLIST

A water-related problem often causes the same symptoms as a refrigeration system component malfunction.

Example: A water float valve over filling during the freeze cycle, a system low on charge, and a starving TXV have similar symptoms.

Water system problems must be identified and eliminated prior to replacing refrigeration components.
