COMPONENTS TESTING

Heating Element

HEATING ELEMENT

(“WE” &”WY” Models)

All “WE” and “WY” models are equipped with a 3.3 KW

heating element.

The heating element has two heater limit switches

(bimetal thermostats) connected in series with it. The

Primary limit located near the bottom, will open the

circuit when the temperature reaches 130°F +/-5°. The

Secondary is a high limit switch near the top of the

element. It is designed to open the circuit at 165°F +/-8°.

Should the fan motor fail or filter become clogged etc.,

the high limit switch will open and interrupt the power to

the heater before reaching an unsafe temperature

condition.

Test the heater element for continuity below 130°F.

CAPACITORS

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

WARNING

Turn off electric power before servicing.

Discharge capacitor with a 20,000 Ohm 2 Watt

resistor before handling.

Failure to do so may result in personal injury,

or death.

Many motor capacitors are internally fused. Shorting the

terminals will blow the fuse, ruining the capacitor. A 20,000

ohm 2 watt resistor can be used to discharge capacitors

safely. Remove wires from capacitor and place resistor

across terminals. When checking a dual capacitor with

a capacitor analyzer or ohmmeter, both sides must be

tested.

Capacitor Check with Capacitor Analyzer

The capacitor analyzer will show whether the capacitor is

“open” or “shorted.” It will tell whether the capacitor is within

its micro farads rating and it will show whether the capacitor

is operating at the proper power-factor percentage. The

instrument will automatically discharge the capacitor when

the test switch is released.

Capacitor Connections

The starting winding of a motor can be damaged by a

shorted and grounded running capacitor. This damage

usually can be avoided by proper connection of the running

capacitor terminals.

From the supply line on a typical 230 volt circuit, a 115 volt

potential exists from the “R” terminal to ground through a

possible short in the capacitor. However, from the “S” or

start terminal, a much higher potential, possibly as high as

400 volts, exists because of the counter EMF generated

in the start winding. Therefore, the possibility of capacitor

failure is much greater when the identied terminal is

connected to the “S” or start terminal. The identied

terminal should always be connected to the supply line, or

“R” terminal, never to the “S” terminal.

When connected properly, a shorted or grounded running

capacitor will result in a direct short to ground from the “R”

terminal and will blow the line fuse. The motor protector

will protect the main winding from excessive temperature.

DRAIN PAN VALVE

During the cooling mode of operation, condensate which

collects in the drain pan is picked up by the condenser

fan blade and sprayed onto the condenser coil. This as-

sists in cooling the refrigerant plus evaporating the water.

During the heating mode of operation, it is necessary that

water be removed to prevent it from freezing during cold

outside temperatures. This could cause the condenser

fan blade to freeze in the accumulated water and prevent

it from turning.

To provide a means of draining this water, a bellows type

drain valve is installed over a drain opening in the base

pan. This valve is temperature sensitive and will open

when the outside temperature reaches 40°F. The valve

will close gradually as the temperature rises above 40°F

to fully close at 60°F.

A good understanding of the basic operation of the

refrigeration system is essential for the service technician.

Without this understanding, accurate troubleshooting of

refrigeration system problems will be more difcult and time

consuming, if not (in some cases) entirely impossible. The

refrigeration system uses four basic principles (laws) in its

operation they are as follows:

1. “Heat always ows from a warmer body to a cooler

body.”

2. “Heat must be added to or removed from a substance

before a change in state can occur”

3. “Flow is always from a higher pressure area to a lower

pressure area.”

4. “The temperature at which a liquid or gas changes state

is dependent upon the pressure.”

The refrigeration cycle begins at the compressor. Starting

the compressor creates a low pressure in the suction line

which draws refrigerant gas (vapor) into the compressor.

The compressor then “compresses” this refrigerant, raising

its pressure and its (heat intensity) temperature.

The refrigerant leaves the compressor through the discharge

Line as a hot High pressure gas (vapor). The refrigerant

enters the condenser coil where it gives up some of its

heat. The condenser fan moving air across the coil’s nned

surface facilitates the transfer of heat from the refrigerant to

the relatively cooler outdoor air.

When a sufcient quantity of heat has been removed from

the refrigerant gas (vapor), the refrigerant will “condense”

(i.e. change to a liquid). Once the refrigerant has been

condensed (changed) to a liquid it is cooled even further by

the air that continues to ow across the condenser coil.

The WallMaster design determines at exactly what point (in

the condenser) the change of state (i.e. gas to a liquid)

takes place. In all cases, however, the refrigerant must be

totally condensed (changed) to a Liquid before leaving the

condenser coil.

The refrigerant leaves the condenser Coil through the liquid

line as a warm high pressure liquid. It next will pass through

the refrigerant drier (if so equipped). It is the function of the

drier to trap any moisture present in the system, contaminants,

and large particulate matter.

The liquid refrigerant next enters the metering device. The

metering device is a capillary tube. The purpose of the

metering device is to “meter” (i.e. control or measure) the

quantity of refrigerant entering the evaporator coil.

In the case of the capillary tube this is accomplished (by

design) through size (and length) of device, and the pressure

difference present across the device.

Since the evaporator coil is under a lower pressure (due to

the suction created by the compressor) than the liquid line,

the liquid refrigerant leaves the metering device entering the

evaporator coil. As it enters the evaporator coil, the larger

area and lower pressure allows the refrigerant to expand

and lower its temperature (heat intensity). This expansion is

often referred to as “boiling”. Since the unit’s blower is moving

indoor air across the nned surface of the evaporator coil,

the expanding refrigerant absorbs some of that heat. This

results in a lowering of the indoor air temperature, hence the

“cooling” effect.

The expansion and absorbing of heat cause the liquid

refrigerant to evaporate (i.e. change to a gas). Once the

refrigerant has been evaporated (changed to a gas), it is

heated even further by the air that continues to ow across

the evaporator coil.

The particular system design determines at exactly what

point (in the evaporator) the change of state (i.e. liquid to a

gas) takes place. In all cases, however, the refrigerant must

be totally evaporated (changed) to a gas before leaving the

evaporator coil.

The low pressure (suction) created by the compressor

causes the refrigerant to leave the evaporator through the

suction line as a cool low pressure vapor. The refrigerant then

returns to the compressor, where the cycle is repeated.

• R-410A pressure is approximately 60% higher than R-22 pressure.

• R-410A cylinders must not be allowed to exceed 125 F, they may leak or rupture.

• R-410A must never be pressurized with a mixture of air, it may become

ammable.

• Servicing equipment and components must be specically designed for use with R-410A and

dedicated to prevent contamination.

• Manifold sets must be equipped with gauges capable of reading 750 psig (high side) and 200

psig (low side), with a 500-psig low-side retard.

• Gauge hoses must have a minimum 750-psig service pressure rating

• Recovery cylinders must have a minimum service pressure rating of 400 psig, (DOT 4BA400

and DOT BW400 approved cylinders).

• POE (Polyol-Ester) lubricants must be used with R-410A equipment.

• To prevent moisture absorption and lubricant contamination, do not leave the refrigeration

system open to the atmosphere longer than 1 hour.

• Weigh-in the refrigerant charge into the high side of the system.

• Introduce liquid refrigerant charge into the high side of the system.

• For low side pressure charging of R-410A, use a charging adaptor.

• Use Friedrich approved R-410A lter dryers only.

The following is a list of important considerations when working with R-410A equipment

R-410A SEALED SYSTEM REPAIR CONSIDERATIONS

Do not puncture, heat, expose to ame or incinerate.

Only certied refrigeration technicians should

service this equipment.

R410A systems operate at higher pressures than

R22 equipment. Appropriate safe service and

handling practicces must be used.

Only use gauge sets designed for use with R410A.

Do not use standard R22 gauge sets.

Proper refrigerant charge is essential to proper unit operation.

Operating a unit with an improper refrigerant charge will

result in reduced performance (capacity) and/or efciency.

Accordingly, the use of proper charging methods during

servicing will insure that the unit is functioning as designed

and that its compressor will not be damaged.

Too much refrigerant (overcharge) in the system is just as bad

(if not worse) than not enough refrigerant (undercharge). They

both can be the source of certain compressor failures if they

remain uncorrected for any period of time. Quite often, other

problems (such as low air ow across evaporator, etc.) are

misdiagnosed as refrigerant charge problems. The refrigerant

circuit diagnosis chart will assist you in properly diagnosing

these systems.

An overcharged unit will at times return liquid refrigerant

(slugging) back to the suction side of the compressor eventually

causing a mechanical failure within the compressor. This

mechanical failure can manifest itself as valve failure, bearing

failure, and/or other mechanical failure. The specic type of

failure will be inuenced by the amount of liquid being returned,

and the length of time the slugging continues.

Not enough refrigerant (undercharge) on the other hand, will

cause the temperature of the suction gas to increase to the point

where it does not provide sufcient cooling for the compressor

motor. When this occurs, the motor winding temperature will

increase causing the motor to overheat and possibly cycle open

the compressor overload protector. Continued overheating of

the motor windings and/or cycling of the overload will eventually

lead to compressor motor or overload failure.

Sealed Refrigeration System contains refrigerant

and oil under high pressure.

Proper safety procedures must be followed,

and proper protective clothing must be worn

when working with refrigerants.

Failure to follow these procedures could

result in serious injury or death.

Method Of Charging / Repairs

The acceptable method for charging the WallMaster system

is the Weighed in Charge Method. The weighed in charge

method is applicable to all units. It is the preferred method to

use, as it is the most accurate.

The weighed in method should always be used whenever

a charge is removed from a unit such as for a leak repair,

compressor replacement, or when there is no refrigerant

charge left in the unit. To charge by this method, requires the

following steps:

1. Install a piercing valve to remove refrigerant from the

sealedsystem. (Piercing valve must be removed from the

system before recharging.)

2. Recover Refrigerant in accordance with EPA regulations.

Undercharged Refrigerant Systems

An undercharged system will result in poor performance

(low pressures, etc.) in both the heating and cooling

cycle.

Whenever you service a unit with an undercharge of

refrigerant, always suspect a leak. The leak must be

repaired before charging the unit.

To check for an undercharged system, turn the unit on,

allow the compressor to run long enough to establish

working pressures in the system (15 to 20 minutes).

During the cooling cycle you can listen carefully at the exit

of the metering device into the evaporator; an intermittent

hissing and gurgling sound indicates a low refrigerant

charge. Intermittent frosting and thawing of the evaporator

is another indication of a low charge, however, frosting

and thawing can also be caused by insufcient air over

the evaporator.

Checks for an undercharged system can be made at

the compressor. If the compressor seems quieter than

normal, it is an indication of a low refrigerant charge.

Overcharged Refrigerant Systems

A check of the amperage drawn by the compressor

motor should show a lower reading. (Check the Unit

Specication.) After the unit has run 10 to 15 minutes,

check the gauge pressures. Gauges connected to system

with an undercharge will have low head pressures and

substantially low suction pressures.

of the evaporator will not be encountered because the

refrigerant will boil later if at all. Gauges connected to

system will usually have higher head pressure (depending

upon amount of over charge). Suction pressure should be

slightly higher.

Compressor amps will be near normal or higher.

Noncondensables can also cause these symptoms. To

conrm, remove some of the charge, if conditions improve,

system may be overcharged. If conditions don’t improve,

Noncondensables are indicated.

Whenever an overcharged system is indicated, always

make sure that the problem is not caused by air ow

problems. Improper air ow over the evaporator coil may

indicate some of the same symptoms as an over charged

system.

An overcharge can cause the compressor to fail, since it

would be “slugged” with liquid refrigerant.

The charge for any system is critical. When the compressor

is noisy, suspect an overcharge, when you are sure that

the air quantity over the evaporator coil is correct. Icing
