Table 31 — Perfect Humidity™ Dehumidification System Subcooling Mode Service Analysis
Table 32 — Perfect Humidity Dehumidification Hot Gas Reheat Mode Service Analysis
PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY
Subcooling Mode (Liquid Reheat)
Will Not Energize.
No power to control transformer from
evaporator-fan motor.
Check power source and evaporator-fan relay. Ensure all wire
connections are tight.
No power from control transformer to liquid
line solenoid valve.
1. Fuse open; check fuse. Ensure continuity of wiring.
2. Low-pressure switch open. Cycle unit off and allow low-
pressure switch to reset. Replace switch if it will not close.
3. Transformer bad; check transformer.
Liquid line solenoid valve will not operate. 1. Solenoid coil defective; replace.
2. Solenoid valve stuck open; replace.
Liquid line solenoid valve will not open. Valve is stuck closed; replace valve.
Low System Capacity. Low refrigerant charge or frosted evapora-
tor coil.
1. Check charge amount. Charge per Fig. 51-53.
2. Evaporator coil frosted; check and replace low-pressure
switch if necessary.
Loss of Compressor Superheat
Conditions with Subcooling/Reheat
Dehumidification Coil Energized.
Thermostatic expansion valve (TXV). 1. Check TXV bulb mounting, and secure tightly to suction line.
2. Replace TXV if stuck open or closed.
