A.1: No Hot Water; Compressor Not Running
Probable Cause
Test / Observation
Action
1. Power Failure
Check power supply, cable & connections.
If CB off refer to 2.
2. Circuit breaker (CB) tripped off.
Check for short circuit (SC) in line or wiring.
If circuit breaker trips off when compressor re-starts, check
compressor grounding and winding resistance.
If circuit breaker trips off when compressor re-starts, check
compressor grounding and winding resistance.
Remove line or wiring SC.
Replace compressor if found SC.
Replace compressor if found SC.
3. Faulty / incorrect capacitor.
Check capacitor operation if compressor will not start.
Replace faulty or wrong capacitor.
4. Compressor Seized.
Compressor will not start, draws high current, or mechanically
noisy when trying to start.
noisy when trying to start.
Replace compressor.
5. Thermal cut-out (TCO) on digital
controller tripped off.
controller tripped off.
No power to compressor after thermal cut out (TCO).
If TCO trips off repeatedly, see table “A2”.
If TCO trips off repeatedly, see table “A2”.
Reset the TCO by pressing the “SET”
button on the digital controller.
button on the digital controller.
6. Faulty water thermostat.
Thermostat did not cut in even though water temperature is
below the restart point.
Electrical disconnection at the thermostat.
below the restart point.
Electrical disconnection at the thermostat.
Check / replace water thermostat or
digital controller.
Reconnect or replace if faulty.
