TROUBLESHOOTING
The most common problems that can occur in a SEA FROST BG 2000 System are:
(1)Overcharge or loss of water flow switching off the manual reset
(2)Loss of refrigerant charge resulting from leaks.
(3)Moisture or dirt plugging the expansion valve.
(4)Compressor damage due to loss of refrigerant charge.
STEP 1. Gather information as to the nature of the problem before operating the system. A leak often leaves a trace of oil. Inspect the fittings and tubing for wear, corrosion, and chafe. Do not operate the compressor until the trouble is corrected.
HIGH PRESSURE CUTOUT/MANUAL RESET BUTTON
The compressor is fitted with a MANUAL RESET
BEFORE RESETTING the switch inspect the pump and strainer. If the installation location of the through hull allows air to enter the system it may be necessary to bleed the air from a hose connection after the pump but below the waterline by loosening a hose connection. When water flows from the connection retighten the connection.
*This switch will disconnect if the water flow stops.
*This switch will disconnect if the system is overcharged.
Overcharge may not appear until the boat moves into warmer water than it has been commissioned in. Discharge the system until the unit operates without activating the
For further troubleshooting, attach purged gauges at the compressor.
