Re: Error Code 1 / Fault Code 1 - Cooling

Code 1 = High Pressure Switch Fault


Qty Possible Causes:
Refrigerant Over-Charge
Bad Expansion Valve
1 Low Water Flow
Bad Pressure Switch


CHECKOUT

1. Check Refrigerant Pressures

  • Hook-up refrigerant gauges to the system.
    • Start unit and monitor pressures.
      • Normal R-22 Pressures = 55 - 75 Suction, 200 - 275 Discharge.
      • Normal R410A Pressures = 100 - 150 Suction, 275 - 400 Discharge.
    • Check temperature rise on the water lines at the unit.
      • Normal water temperature rise = 9-15 deg.
      • High Head Pressure & Normal Temperature Rise = Refrigerant Overcharge
      • High Head Pressure & High Temperature Rise = Low Water Flow

2. Check Pressure Switch

  • If refrigerant discharge pressure stays in a normal range but still shows Code 1 ⇒ Check Pressure Switch
    • Without removing wires, check for 2VAC on both sides of the pressure switch.
      • Power on Both Sides = Switch Closed
      • Power on One Side Only = Switch Open (Bad Switch)
