Cause
Suction gas temperature is
too high (excessive super 
heat)
Failure of thermistor for 
control of discharge gas
Single phase operation
Excessive Compressor
operating current
Single phase operation
Faulty compressor bearing
Insulation failure of
compressor motor
Pump locked
Inappropriate RC value of
overcurrent relay for pump
Faulty overcurrent relay for
pump
Insufficient volume of water
Pump inverse rotation
Thermistor abnormality
Faulty frost-proof thermostat
Check Item
Malfunction of check valve
Clogging of expansion valve
Malfunction of the expansion valve
Check connection with a tester
Check electromagnetic switch
Power supply voltage too high or 
too low
Phase unbalance in power supply 
voltage
Discharge pressure too high
Power source fuse blown
Loosening of terminal-type screws 
of power source
Check rough contact of 
electromagnetic contactor of
compressor motor
It becomes locked.
Measure insulation resistance
Check frozen water, clogging by 
foreign bodies, etc.
Check RC value and pump 
operating current
Press reset button.
Check running current
Check cold water inlet/outlet 
temperature difference
Check rotational direction
Check cold water inlet temp
Check cold water outlet temp
Action · Countermeasure
Replace check valve
Remove clogging
Replace expansion valve
Replace thermistor for 
control of discharge gas
Replace electromagnetic
switch
4
Set voltage during operation
to rated voltage
Measure voltage between 
each phase, and consult with 
the power company
Investigation to determine
the cause
Replace power source fuse
Retighten screws.
Replace contact
Compressor replacement
Remove
Change RC value or replace 
electromagnetic switch
Replace electromagnetic
switch
Increase volume of water.
Fix to correct direction.
Replace Thermistor
Replace frost-proof
thermostat
