Air conditioner compressor unit diagnosis & repair Questions & Answers:

These FAQs about the diagnosis or repair of the compressor/condenser unit assist in understanding what's wrong with the equipment and what to try next.

This article series discusses the outdoor components of air conditioners and heat pumps: how the air conditioning compressor-condenser unit works; the detection of defects in air conditioning compressor and condensing units, including evaluation of air conditioner compressor noises, hard starting, lost cooling capacity, and detection of a burned out compressor or A/C compressors at or near end of their life.

On 2018-10-19 by (mod) - signs of over-pressure in an A/C or heat pump compressor system

Jozef

regarding your question:

Air conditioning 12 LG outdoor unit, replaceable capacitor, inflammation starts and falls, shakes on swaps for two min.
What could i be t.j. is it still to be done?
...
say the mehanical it's comresor is die, not me posible starting compresor end stop, two min work end shake...,why is this?


Reply:

If the compressor started and ran normally for two minutes, then stopped after shaking, I would suspect an over-pressure condition on the "high-pressure" side of the system. That can be caused by a blockage in the high pressure refrigerant piping or a stuck or frozen TEV - thermostatic expansion valve.

If I am correct that we are speaking Croatian:

Ako je kompresor započeo i trčao normalno dvije minute, a zatim je zaustavljen nakon tresenja, pretpostavljam da postoji pretjerani pritisak na "visokotlačnoj" strani sustava. To može biti uzrokovano začepljenjem u visokotlačnom cjevovodu rashladnog sredstva ili zaporenim ili zamrznutim TEV - termostatskim ekspanzionim ventilom.

As

At OPERATING DEFECTS, AIR CONDITIONING we list the common operating problems and suggest sequences of diagnosis and repair steps for them.

But cycling on and off at the compressor is not well-addressed there.
Diagnosis depends in part on the "on and off" frequency and regularity, and also on whether the problem is a recent one or one that has been present since the system was installed.

if the unit has always cycled as you describe we could be looking at an oversized thermostatic expansion valve - that causes a "seeking" behaviour that will cycle the system with some regularity

If the problem is new and the compressor cycling is frequent but irregular I'd look fist for a loose wire or loose or corroded connector, then for a failed control relay or control board.

On 2016-09-14 by (mod) re: icing on the suction line

Typically you see icing on the compressor itself and on the suction line remote from the cooling coil when there is low refrigerant in the system or when the refrigerant metering device, cap tube, or TEV or EEV is not working properly.

Possibly a bad capacitor;
Try turning off the system for 45 minutes or longer;
Then see if it can re-start.

On 2016-05-08 by (mod) re: I was told a chipped reed valve cannot br repaired or replaced

Peg,

What you were told is correct. A/C or heat pump compressor motors are a hermetically sealed unit: the motor and components are in a "can". It is not possible to repair parts inside the unit. The repair is to replace the compressor motor; there are perhaps other reasons why your repair person wants to replace the entire compressor/condenser unit instead.

On 2016-05-08 by Peg

I was told a chipped reed valve cannot br repaired or replaced, so I require a whole new condenser. I've been unable to find information here about repair or replacement of reed valves. Please help me find the answer. Thanks!

Rick, Sorry I don't understand the question. Compare the fusing size to the recommended fuse amperage on the data tag of your unit. Check for power on the circuit. Check for burned aluminum wiring on the circuit. Leave power off.

On 2016-01-09 by (mod) re: how much ice on the cooling piping is OK

A small amount of ice on a refrigerant piping close to the unit is common and OK - (insulate the line); if the coil is icing then the unit won't keep working properly - that is in heat pump mode it won't provide heat to the home. A cause could be low refrigerant or a refrigerant metering valve that is not working properly. IN that case call your sevice company for repair.

On 2015-08-18 by (mod)

Terri I can't diagnose the vibration from just your email - it could be serious, such as a failing compressor, or something simpler like a loose fan or even just loose hardware. I'd ask for help from a local service tech as by making a repair you may avoid more costly damage.

On 2015-08-18 by Terri

We rarely need to run our air conditioner but recently had a heatwave. On the third day of running it a fairly loud vibration noise started. It was coming from the outside unit. We turned the air off at the thermostat then turned it back on after about one half hour. It would run fine then after a period of time the vibration would start again. I'm hoping it's an easy fix.thank you

Donna I can't diagnose this from just your e-text; no one would, however, be able to patch a refrigerant leak with an external black gummy substance that I know of. More likely that's something else, perhaps sealing an opening where tubing passes or replacing damaged refrigerant tubing insulation.

IF your unit has lost refrigerant, indeed there is a leak to find and fix. Do not waste money by repeated re-charges of refrigerant (nor do we want to keep dumping refrigerant into the environment).

Surely the new work was warranted, right?

On 2015-06-10 by Donna

We had our air handler replaced just about 1 month ago but not the out side unit! I was surprised because the unit out side and in were put in when the house was bui!t in 1997. There was a freon leak in the unit inside. I was told there was no leak outside but there is a blue gummy substance where it looks as if the tried to patch a leak!

So why would someone not deem the whole system shot and replace the whole unit! Cause I seat here now with a non working unit again after dumping more than 800.00 into the unit on the inside and no freon in the unit yet again!

I have a UPG Coleman 14.5 SEER 3 ton split unit. Unit is less than 3 years old. It runs almost all the time and the temp coming out of the registers is about 68 to 70 degrees. Return air is about 75 degrees. Coils are not iced up. TXV and reversing valves have been replaced. If set on 72 degrees, the temp goes up during the day to almot 79 degrees when 90+ outside. Unit is not producing cold air to keep a constantly cool temp inside. What is wrong with my unit?

Question: Is the problem with the fan motor or the compressor motor in my condenser unit?

I've a Lennox outside a/c unit. The fan/motor and compressor are part of the unit. The fan was not spinning and the A/c is not running. I've isolated the problem down to the fan/motor or the compressor, but don't know how to check or find out which it is. Any idea on how to check if the fan/motor is 'bad' or the compressor is 'bad'? - Fan or ... 7/23/11

Reply:

Fan or compressor: you could also have a bad control board, or relay switch in the compressor/condenser unit. If the fan is bad and the compressor is OK you'll hear the compressor turn on at the start of a cooling cycle, though a bad fan and system overheating could later cause some compressors to turn themselves back off. Similarly, if the compressor is bad your fan motor would still run. So I'm suspecting a control or switch problem./

Question: Icing at the compressor; compressor not turning on?

the outside unit of the heat pump is icing up on the compressor - Steve 8/7/11

Hi my fan in my house goes on but my compressor unit does not all the electric seems to be fine . could it be my thermostat? - Sam 8/7/11

the accu very heat,although it is new gen. clean,2Tr LS-60psi & HS-100psi, - Anon 8/6/11

Reply:

Steve: icing at the compressor/condenser sounds like a refrigerant charger or refrigerant metering problem.

Sam: if your thermostat turns on the air handler but the compressor/condenser does not run, the problem is not the thermostat. Check out the diagnostic suggestiosn beginning at LOST COOLING CAPACITY (link at the ARTICLE INDEX the bottom of this article )

Anon: those pressures look kind of low, no? What does your HVAC tech say about normal for that system?

Question: My A/C compressor just won't stop running

I recently noticed my AC condenser unit still running when the system inside shutoff by itself. and also, does the condenser unit have to be leveled. I notice the slap which holding the unit is slopping. Any suggestions? Thank you. - Rick 8/16/11

Reply:

A/C compressor/condenser won't stop running:

Rick usually when an A/C condenser unit won't stop running even though the inside equipment has shut off by itself my thinking divides into two investigations:

- is there a problem with the INDOOR unit such as a blower fan that won't start, an access door switch open, a condensate drain switch turning off the blower unit - these can leave the system calling for heat and the compressor running (though that's not good for the compressor)

- is there a problem with the outdoor equipment such as a bad control relay or control board

Question: loud cricket chirping sounds at the compressor/condenser unit, and slow starting

outside unit making loud cricket sounding noise when running. Takes long time to come on when temp set low. - JT 7/276/12

Reply:

JT our link at the ARTICLE INDEX the bottom of this article NOISE AIR CONDITIONER / HEAT PUMP provides noise diagnostics.

About taking a long time for the A/C to "come on" when the temperature is set low: the thermostat is operating like an "on-off" switch that turns the air conditioner system on and off in response to room temperature. It's not an accelerator. So if there is an operating problem related to the system controls, the number of degrees below the room temperature to which the thermostat is set should make no difference in how long it takes the A/C system to start. As long as the SET temperature is lower than the room temperature the cooling system will turn on.

Question: how long should the AC run when first turned on

Anon said

when you turn on the AC for the first day of summer or heat how long would the unit circulate air then when does it stop

Reply:

The length of time that the A/C will run depends on many factors including

- the thermostat set temperature

- the building temperature at time the A/C is tuned on

- the efficiency of and cooling power (BTUS) of the system

- where the air is delivered

- thermostat location

- the thermal mass of the building: what materials have been heated up and need to be cooled down

- the heat gain rate of the building

- outdoor temperature, wind, and sun exposure

The air will circulate and the A/C will run until the thermostat is satisified. If the system cannot satisfy the thermostat for any reason the system will keep running.

Question: water at the base of the compressor

(June 30, 2014) Anonymous said:

Is it normal for there to be water coming out of the base of my compressor

Reply:

Water at the outdoor compressor condenser is probably coming from melting ice or frost. If you see cycles of significant ice or frost build-up the refrigerant charge or metering may be incorrect and I'd ask for a check by an HVAC tech.

DEAR SIR
I am an architect with limited technical knowledge of the mechanics of A/Cs but based on past experience I have noted that compressors are normally located externally to provide air circulation around them or else they'll pack up.

On one of the projects one of my colleague is currently involved with is where the building owner has specifically stated that he does not want anything including compressors or satellite dishes installed externally where they are visible. the mechanical engineer has instructed the sub-contractor to install these in a stair well.

My opinion is that this is not the correct location as the stair-well will heat up due to discharge from the compressors - which means we'd need to provide mechanical extract! but more importantly due to lack of fresh air the compressors will within a short time pack up and the A/Cs will not function.

The mech. engineer who disagrees with these observations! Please advise if I am incorrect in my observations and what are the remedies.

Please also note contractually we've done the paperwork in informing the mech. engineer that the instructions are incorrect and any malfunction of the system as a result will be his responsibility - so that has been taken care of but what I'd like to know is whether we can go around this problem by introducing ducts or substituting outdoor compressors with indoor units which are more cost effective

I have a very old Lenox heat pump system. The "contractor" said it is 40 years old. He mentions it needs a new Defrost Control Board (problem is the condenser fan always runs). I went snooping around the unit and could not find a board. It appears to be a direct 220V connection too condenser unit; capacitors and simple contactor. I found the contactor to be stuck. I freed it up and all seems fine. I will replace contactor. Is it possible that this old lennox heat pump does not have a defrost control board or should I keep looking? Can it be in the air handler?? Thanks.

Air comes on inside the house but not cooling. Found the condensor/compressor was not running outside. Called repair guy. Found a "circuit" type switch has tripped. When this was reset, the outside "compressor/condensor" came back on.

Before guy left, I noticed the fan was not turning. He turned system off, manually turned fan blades a bit by sticking screw driver in between grate, then powered back up and it worked.

Next day, (after turning air off), fan did not turn yet again. Did the fact that the fan was not turning indicate another issue that should have been explored?

WD-40, hosing/cleaning blades at a minimum? Possible start/run capacitor, relay switch or control board, (ideas from reading this site). they are supposed to come back out this afternoon. Want to be informed. Thanks.
