If the indoor ambient air themister reads 55 degrees,  
turn off the compressor and turn on the electric heat and  
continue fan operation until temp setting is satisfied. Then  
revert to standard heat pump operation.  
If the compressor is time delayed:  
1. Turn on the electric heat until the compressor is not time  
delayed.  
2. When the compressor’s 3 minute time delay is over,  
turn off the electric heat, wait 5 seconds, then turn on the  
compressor.  
THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT  
No attempt should be made to adjust thermostat. Due to  
the sensitivity of the internal mechanism and the sophis-  
ticated equipment required to check the calibration, it is  
suggested that the thermostat be replaced rather than  
calibrated.  
Defrost:  
If the outdoor coil thermister reads 30 degrees for 2  
minutes continuously, turn off the compressor and turn on  
the electric heat and continue fan operation.  
FAN MOTOR  
Asingle phase permanentsplit capacitor motor is usedto drive  
the evaporator blower and condenser fan. A self-resetting  
overload is located inside the motor to protect against high  
temperature and high amperage conditions. (See Figure 23)  
If the outdoor coil thermister reaches 43 degrees and  
the compressor has waited the standard delay time of  
180-240 seconds:  
1. Turn off the backup electric heat  
2. Wait 5 seconds

WARNING  
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD  
This thermostat is a single pole - double throw with con-  
tacts between terminal “2” and “3” closing on temperature  
rise and contacts between terminals “2” and “1” closing  
on temperature fall. When the contacts between terminals  
“2” and “3” open, power to the compressor is interrupted.  
When contacts between terminals “2” and “1” make, power  
is suppled to the heater element.  
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.  
This control is a dual purpose control that acts as an  
outdoor thermostat and defrost control.  
When the sensing bulb, attached to the condenser coil,  
senses enough icing on the outdoor coil it will interrupt  
power to the compressor and supply power to the heating  
element until the coil temperature reaches above 43°.  
Then the heater will shut off and the unit will resume  
operating in the reverse cycle mode.  
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.  
When the outdoor coil temperature drops below 20 degrees,  
the unit will operate in electric heat mode continuously until  
the outdoor coil temperature rises above 43°.  
Figure 10: Defrost Control  
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 identified terminal is  
connected to the “S” or start terminal. The identified  
terminal should always be connected to the supply line, or  
“R” terminal, never to the “S” terminal.  
DEFROST BULB LOCATION  
(All “WY” Electromechanical Control Models)  
The defrost control bulb must be mounted securely and in  
the correct location to operate properly (see Figure 11).  
Figure 11: Defrost Bulb Location  
(All “WY” Models)  
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.

heating element.  
The heating element has two heater limit switches  
(bimetal thermostats) connected in series with it. The  
number 1 limit located near the bottom, will open the  
circuit when the temperature reaches 130°F +/-5°. The  
number 2 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. The  
element’s resistance value is 13.7 Ohms +/-5%.

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.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM SEQUENCE OF OPERATION  
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 difficult 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:  
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  
driertotrapanymoisturepresentinthesystem,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.  
1. “Heat always flows 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”  
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.  
3. “Flow is always from a higher pressure area to a lower  
pressure area.”  
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 finned 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.  
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 finned  
surface facilitates the transfer of heat from the refrigerant to  
the relatively cooler outdoor air.  
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 flow across  
the evaporator coil.  
When a sufficient 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 flow across the condenser 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 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 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.

SEAlED REFRIGERATION SYSTEM REPAIRS  
IMPORTANT  
ANY SEALED SYSTEM REPAIRS TO COOL-ONLY MODELS REQUIRE THE INSTALLATION OF A LIQUID LINE DRIER.  
ALSO, ANY SEALED SYSTEM REPAIRS TO HEAT PUMP MODELS REQUIRE THE INSTALLATION OF A SUCTION LINE DRIER.  
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:  
9. High Pressure Gauge - (0 - 400 lbs.)  
1. Voltmeter  
10. Low Pressure Gauge - (30 - 150 lbs.)  
2. Ammeter  
11. Vacuum Gauge - (0 - 1000 microns)  
3. Ohmmeter  
4. E.P.A. Approved Refrigerant Recovery System  
EQUIPMENT MUST BE CAPABLE OF:  
5. Vacuum Pump (capable of 200 microns or less  
vacuum.)  
1. Recovery CFC’s as low as 5%.  
2. Evacuation from both the high side and low side of the  
system simultaneously.  
6. Acetylene Welder  
7. Electronic Halogen Leak Detector (G.E. Type H-6 or  
equivalent.)  
3. Introducing refrigerant charge into high side of the  
system.  
8. Accurate refrigerant charge measuring device such  
as:  
4. Accurately weighing the refrigerant charge actually  
introduced into the system.  
a. Balance Scales - 1/2 oz. accuracy  
b. Charging Board - 1/2 oz. accuracy  
5. Facilities for flowing nitrogen through refrigeration tubing  
during all brazing processes.  
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  
efficiency. 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.  
WARNING  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
Unplug and/or disconnect all electrical power  
to the unit before performing inspections,  
maintenances or service.  
Failure to do so could result in electric shock,  
serious injury or death.  
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 flow across evaporator, etc.) are  
misdiagnosed as refrigerant charge problems. The refrigerant  
circuit diagnosis chart will assist you in properly diagnosing  
these systems.  
WARNING  
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD  
SealedRefrigerationSystemcontainsrefrigerant  
and oil under high pressure.  
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 specific type of  
failure will be influenced by the amount of liquid being returned,  
and the length of time the slugging continues.  
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.  
Refrigerant Charging  
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 sufficient 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.  
NOTE: Because The WallMaster System Is A Sealed  
System, Service Process Tubes Will Have To Be Installed.  
First Install A Line Tap And Remove Refrigerant From  
System. Make Necessary Sealed System Repairs And  
VacuumSystem. CrimpProcessTubeLineAndSolderEnd  
Shut. Do Not LeaveAService Valve In The Sealed System.  
19  
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.  
WARNING  
BURN HAZARD  
Proper safety procedures must be followed,  
and proper protective clothing must be worn  
when working with a torch.  
Failure to follow these procedures could  
result in moderate or serious injury.  
3. Install a process tube to sealed system.  
CAUTION  
FREEZE HAZARD  
Proper safety procedures must be followed,  
and proper protective clothing must be worn  
when working with liquid refrigerant.  
Failure to follow these procedures could  
result in minor to moderate injury.  
4. Make necessary repairs to system.  
5. Evacuate system to 300 microns or less.  
6. Weigh in refrigerant with the property quantity of R-22  
refrigerant.  
7. Start unit, and verify performance.  
WARNING  
BURN HAZARD  
Proper safety procedures must be followed,  
and proper protective clothing must be worn  
when working with a torch.  
Failure to follow these procedures could  
result in moderate or serious injury.

Failure to follow these procedures could

Undercharged Refrigerant Systems  
An undercharged system will result in poor performance  
(low pressures, etc.) in both the heating and cooling  
cycle.  
A check of the amperage drawn by the compressor  
motor should show a lower reading. (Check the Unit  
Specification.) 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.  
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 insufficient 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.  
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.  
Overcharged Refrigerant Systems  
Compressor amps will be near normal or higher.  
Noncondensables can also cause these symptoms. To  
confirm, 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 flow  
problems. Improper air flow 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.  
Thechargeforanysystemiscritical. Whenthecompressor  
is noisy, suspect an overcharge, when you are sure that  
the air quantity over the evaporator coil is correct. Icing

Restricted Refrigerant System  
Troubleshooting a restricted refrigerant system can be  
difficult. The following procedures are the more common  
problems and solutions to these problems. There are two  
types of refrigerant restrictions: Partial restrictions and  
complete restrictions.  
at the metering device entrance to the evaporator. The  
evaporator in a partial restriction could be partially frosted  
or have an ice ball close to the entrance of the metering  
device. Frost may continue on the suction line back to the  
compressor.  
A partial restriction allows some of the refrigerant to  
circulate through the system.  
Often a partial restriction of any type can be found by feel,  
as there is a temperature difference from one side of the  
restriction to the other.  
With a complete restriction there is no circulation of  
refrigerant in the system.  
With a complete restriction, there will be no sound at the  
metering device entrance. An amperage check of the  
compressor with a partial restriction may show normal  
current when compared to the unit specifi cation. With a  
complete restriction the current drawn may be considerably  
less than normal, as the compressor is running in a deep  
vacuum (no load.) Much of the area of the condenser will  
be relatively cool since most or all of the liquid refrigerant  
will be stored there.  
Restricted refrigerant systems display the same symptoms  
as a “low-charge condition.”  
When the unit is shut off, the gauges may equalize very  
slowly.  
Gauges connected to a completely restricted system will  
run in a deep vacuum. When the unit is shut off, the gauges  
will not equalize at all.  
The following conditions are based primarily on a system  
in the cooling mode.  
A quick check for either condition begins at the evaporator.  
With a partial restriction, there may be gurgling sounds

METERING DEVICE  
Capillary Tube Systems  
All units are equipped with capillary tube metering  
devices.  
3. Switch the unit to the heating mode and observe the  
gauge readings after a few minutes running time. If  
the system pressure is lower than normal, the heating  
capillary is restricted.  
Checking for restricted capillary tubes.  
1. Connect pressure gauges to unit.  
4. If the operating pressures are lower than normal in both  
the heating and cooling mode, the cooling capillary is  
restricted.  
2. Start the unit in the cooling mode. If after a few minutes  
of operation the pressures are normal, the check valve  
and the cooling capillary are not restricted.  
CHECK VAlVE  
Failure of the slide in the check valve to seat properly in  
either mode of operation will cause flooding of the cooling  
coil. This is due to the refrigerant bypassing the heating or  
cooling capillary tube and entering the liquid line.  
A unique two-way check valve is used on the reverse cycle  
heat pumps. It is pressure operated and used to direct the  
flow of refrigerant through a single filter drier and to the  
proper capillary tube during either the heating or cooling  
cycle.  
COOLING MODE  
In the cooling mode of operation, liquid refrigerant from  
condenser (liquid line) enters the cooling check valve  
forcing the heating check valve shut. The liquid refrigerant  
is directed into the liquid dryer after which the refrigerant  
is metered through cooling capillary tubes to evaporator.  
(Note: liquid refrigerant will also be directed through the  
heating capillary tubes in a continuous loop during the  
cooling mode).  
One-way Check Valve  
(Heat Pump Models)  
HEATING MODE  
NOTE: The slide (check) inside the valve is made of teflon.  
Should it become necessary to replace the check valve,  
place a wet cloth around the valve to prevent overheating  
during the brazing operation.  
In the heating mode of operation, liquid refrigerant from  
the indoor coil enters the heating check valve forcing the  
cooling check valve shut. The liquid refrigerant is directed  
into the liquid dryer after which the refrigerant is metered  
through the heating capillary tubes to outdoor coils. (Note:  
liquid refrigerant will also be directed through the cooling  
capillary tubes in a continuous loop during the heating  
mode).  
CHECK VALVE OPERATION  
In the cooling mode of operation, high pressure liquid enters  
the check valve forcing the slide to close the opposite port  
(liquid line) to the indoor coil. Refer to refrigerant flow chart.  
This directs the refrigerant through the filter drier and cooling  
capillary tube to the indoor coil.  
In the heating mode of operation, high pressure refrigerant  
enters the check valve from the opposite direction, closing  
the port (liquid line) to the outdoor coil. The flow path of the  
refrigerant is then through the filter drier and heating capillary  
to the outdoor coil.

flow to the indoor and outdoor coils. It consists of a  
pressure-operated, main valve and a pilot valve actuated  
by a solenoid plunger. The solenoid is energized during the  
heating cycle only. The reversing valves used in the RAC  
system is a 2-position, 4-way valve.  
The piston assembly in the main valve can only be shifted  
by the pressure differential between the high and low sides  
of the system. The pilot section of the valve opens and  
closes ports for the small capillary tubes to the main valve  
to cause it to shift.  
The single tube on one side of the main valve body is the  
high-pressure inlet to the valve from the compressor. The  
center tube on the opposite side is connected to the low  
pressure (suction) side of the system. The other two are  
connected to the indoor and outdoor coils. Small capillary  
tubes connect each end of the main valve cylinder to the

from heating to cooling.  
WARNING  
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD  
Unplug and/or disconnect all electrical power  
to the unit before performing inspections,  
maintenances or service.  
If the valve is stuck in the heating position, block the air  
flow through the indoor coil and allow discharge pressure  
to build in the system. Then switch the system from  
heating to cooling.  
Failure to do so could result in electric shock,  
serious injury or death.  
Should the valve fail to shift in either position after  
increasing the discharge pressure, replace the valve.  
The solenoid coil is an electromagnetic type coil mounted  
on the reversing valve and is energized during the  
operation of the compressor in the heating cycle.  
Dented or damaged valve body or capillary tubes can  
prevent the main slide in the valve body from shifting.  
1. Turn off high voltage electrical power to unit.  
If you determing this is the problem, replace the reversing  
valve.  
2. Unplug line voltage lead from reversing valve coil.  
3. Check for electrical continuity through the coil. If you  
do not have continuity replace the coil.  
After all of the previous inspections and checks have  
been made and determined correct, then perform the  
“Touch Test” on the reversing valve.  
4. Check from each lead of coil to the copper liquid line  
as it leaves the unit or the ground lug. There should  
be no continuity between either of the coil leads  
and ground; if there is, coil is grounded and must be  
replaced.  
5. If coil tests okay, reconnect the electrical leads.  
6. Make sure coil has been assembled correctly.  
NOTE: Do not start unit with solenoid coil removed from  
valve, or do not remove coil after unit is in operation. This  
will cause the coil to burn out.  
CHECKING THE REVERSING VAlVE  
NOTE: You must have normal operating pressures before  
the reversing valve can shift.

WARNING  
EXPLOSION HAZARD  
Failure to follow these procedures could  
result in minor to moderate injury.  
The use of nitrogen requires a pressure  
regulator. Follow all safety procedures and  
wear protective safety clothing etc.  
The only definite indications that the slide is in the mid-  
position is if all three tubes on the suction side of the valve  
are hot after a few minutes of running time.  
Failure to follow proper safety procedures  
could result in serious injury or death.  
8. Pressurize sealed system with a combination of R-22  
and nitrogen and check for leaks, using a suitable leak  
detector. Recover refrigerant per EPA guidelines.  
NOTE: A condition other than those illustrated above, and  
on Page 31, indicate that the reversing valve is not shifting  
properly. Both tubes shown as hot or cool must be the same  
corresponding temperature.  
9. Once the sealed system is leak free, install solenoid coil  
on new valve and charge the sealed system by weighing  
in the proper amount and type of refrigerant as shown  
on rating plate. Crimp the process tubes and solder the  
ends shut. Do not leave Schrader or piercing valves in  
the sealed system.  
Procedure For Changing Reversing Valve  
WARNING  
HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD  
SealedRefrigerationSystemcontainsrefrigerant  
and oil under high pressure.  
NOTE: When brazing a reversing valve into the system, it is  
of extreme importance that the temperature of the valve does  
not exceed 250°F at any time.  
Proper safety procedures must be followed,  
and proper protective clothing must be worn  
when working with refrigerants.  
Wrap the reversing valve with a large rag saturated with  
water. “Re-wet” the rag and thoroughly cool the valve after  
each brazing operation of the four joints involved.  
Failure to follow these procedures could  
result in serious injury or death.  
The wet rag around the reversing valve will eliminate  
conduction of heat to the valve body when brazing the line  
connection.  
NOTICE  
FIRE HAZARD  
The use of a torch requires extreme care and proper  
judgment. Follow all safety recommended precautions  
and protect surrounding areas with fire proof materials.  
Have a fire extinguisher readily available. Failure to follow  
this notice could result in moderate to serious property  
damage.  
1. Install Process Tubes. Recover refrigerant from sealed  
system. PROPER HANDLING OF RECOVERED  
REFRIGERANT ACCORDING TO EPA REGULATIONS  
IS REQUIRED.  
2. Remove solenoid coil from reversing valve. If coil is to  
be reused, protect from heat while changing valve.  
3. Unbraze all lines from reversing valve.  
4. Clean all excess braze from all tubing so that they will  
slip into fittings on new valve.  
5. Remove solenoid coil from new valve.

COMPRESSOR CHECKS  
External Overload  
WARNING  
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD  
The compressor is equipped with an external overload  
which senses both motor amperage and winding tem-  
perature. High motor temperature or amperage heats the  
overload causing it to open, breaking the common circuit  
within the compressor.  
Turn off electric power before service or  
installation. Extreme care must be used, if it  
becomes necessary to work on equipment with  
power applied.  
Heat generated within the compressor shell, usually due  
to recycling of the motor, is slow to dissipate. It may take  
anywhere from a few minutes to several hours for the  
overload to reset.  
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or  
death.  
locked Rotor Voltage (l.R.V.) Test  
Locked rotor voltage (L.R.V.) is the actual voltage available  
at the compressor under a stalled condition.  
Checking the External Overload  
Single Phase Connections  
Disconnect power from unit. Using a voltmeter, attach one  
lead of the meter to the run “R” terminal on the compressor  
and the other lead to the common “C” terminal of the com-  
pressor. Restore power to unit.  
WARNING  
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD  
Turn off electric power before service or  
installation. Extreme care must be used, if it  
becomes necessary to work on equipment  
with power applied.  
Determine l.R.V.  
Start the compressor with the volt meter attached; then stop  
the unit. Attempt to restart the compressor within a couple  
of seconds and immediately read the voltage on the meter.  
The compressor under these conditions will not start and will  
usually kick out on overload within a few seconds since the  
pressures in the system will not have had time to equalize.  
Voltage should be at or above minimum voltage of 197 VAC,  
as specified on the rating plate. If less than minimum, check  
for cause of inadequate power supply; i.e., incorrect wire  
size, loose electrical connections, etc.  
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or  
death.  
WARNING  
BURN HAZARD  
Certain unit components operate at  
temperatures hot enough to cause burns.  
Proper safety procedures must be followed,  
and proper protective clothing must be  
worn.  
Amperage (l.R.A.) Test  
The running amperage of the compressor is the most impor-  
tant of these readings. A running amperage higher than that  
indicated in the performance data indicates that a problem  
exists mechanically or electrically.  
Failure to follow this warning could result  
in moderate to serious injury.  
With power off, remove the leads from compressor termi-  
nals. If the compressor is hot, allow the overload to cool  
before starting check. Using an ohmmeter, test continu-  
ity across the terminals of the external overload. If you  
do not have continuity; this indicates that the overload is  
open and must be replaced.  
Single Phase Running and L.R.A. Test  
NOTE: Consult the specification and performance section  
for running amperage. The L.R.A. can also be found on the  
rating plate.  
Select the proper amperage scale and clamp the meter  
probe around the wire to the “C” terminal of the compressor.  
Turn on the unit and read the running amperage on the me-  
ter. If the compressor does not start, the reading will indicate  
the locked rotor amperage (L.R.A.).

Touch the leads of the ohmmeter from terminals common  
to start (“C” to “S”). Next, touch the leads of the ohmmeter  
from terminals common to run (“C” to “R”).  
6.  
Noncondensables such as air and moisture in  
the system. Moisture is extremely destructive to a  
refrigerant system.  
Add values “C” to “S” and “C” to “R” together and  
check resistance from start to run terminals (“S” to “R”).  
Resistance “S” to “R” should equal the total of “C” to “S”  
and “C” to “R.”  
7. Capacitor test (see page 21).  
CHECKING COMPRESSOR EFFICIENCY  
In a single phase PSC compressor motor, the highest  
value will be from the start to the run connections (“S” to  
“R”). The next highest resistance is from the start to the  
common connections (“S” to “C”). The lowest resistance  
is from the run to common. (“C” to “R”) Before replacing a  
compressor, check to be sure it is defective.  
The reason for compressor inefficiency is normally due  
to broken or damaged suction and/or discharge valves,  
reducing the ability of the compressor to pump refrigerant  
gas.  
This condition can be checked as follows:  
1. Install a piercing valve on the suction and discharge or  
liquid process tube.  
GROUND TEST  
Use an ohmmeter set on its highest scale. Touch one  
lead to the compressor body (clean point of contact as  
a good connection is a must) and the other probe in turn  
to each compressor terminal. If a reading is obtained the  
compressor is grounded and must be replaced.  
2. Attach gauges to the high and low sides of the system.  
3. Start the system and run a “cooling or heating perfor-  
mance test.” If test shows:  
Check the complete electrical system to the compressor  
and compressor internal electrical system, check to be  
certain that compressor is not out on internal overload.  
A. Below normal high side pressure  
B. Above normal low side pressure  
C. Low temperature difference across coil  
Complete evaluation of the system must be made  
whenever you suspect the compressor is defective. If  
the compressor has been operating for sometime, a  
careful examination must be made to determine why the  
compressor failed.  
The compressor valves are faulty - replace the  
compressor.

3. After all refrigerant has been recovered, disconnect  
suction and discharge lines from the compressor and  
remove compressor. Be certain to have both suction  
and discharge process tubes open to atmosphere.

stub of the defective compressor into a clean  
container.  
5. Using an acid test kit (one shot or conventional kit), test  
the oil for acid content according to the instructions  
with the kit.  
Failure to do so could result in electric shock,  
serious injury or death.  
6. If any evidence of a burnout is found, no matter how  
slight, the system will need to be cleaned up following  
proper procedures.  
1. Be certain to perform all necessary electrical and  
refrigeration tests to be sure the compressor is  
actually defective before replacing.  
7. Install the replacement compressor.

New construction applications where  
a condensate drain system has been  
built into the wall interior.  
Installed at the back of the unit and allows  
for attachment to permanent condensate  
disposal system, if disposal is necessary  
or desired.  
Used as a base for the unit when  
it is desired to place the cord and  
receptacle within the installation, or  
simply as a base for the unit when  
mounted low in the wall.  
Necessary when installing in a sleeve  
deeper than 16 3/4" deep, such as  
Fedders B sleeve (19 3/4" deep).

WALL PREPARATION:  
STEP 1 The wall opening required for a “WSC” SLEEVE is 17 1/4” high by 27 1/4” wide.  
STEP 2 LINTELS must be used in opening of brick veneer and masonry walls to support the material above the “WSC”  
SLEEVE. The following considerations should also be given:  
A. Adjustable SUB-BASE SB–89 or other unit support must be provided for panel wall type construction  
and for walls less than 8” thick.  
B. A minimum distance of 1” must be allowed on all sides of the unit to adjacent wall and floor. Where the  
sub–base is required, the minimum distance from the floor to the sleeve must be 3 1/2”. To minimize  
chances of short cycling of the compressor, the minimum clearance between the ceiling and the top of  
the unit should be 24”. (See Figure 1).

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:  
STEP 1 The “WSC” SLEEVE should be positioned so that the DRAIN EXTENSION extends a minimum of 9/16” beyond the  
OUTSIDE WALL (See Figure 1).  
STEP 2 The “WSC” SLEEVE must extend a minimum of 7/8” beyond the INSIDE WALL.  
STEP 3 The “WSC” SLEEVE must be installed level side to side.  
STEP 4 The “WSC” SLEEVE must also be installed with a downward tilt toward the outside of the building. If a level is placed  
so that it rests on the FRONT and BACK UNIT REST as shown in Figure 2, a properly installed unit provides a 1/2  
bubble slope to the outside of the building.  
CAUTION: SLEEVE projections and leveling precautions must be observed to prevent the entry of water into the room.

WARNING  
CUT/SEVER HAZARD  
Be careful with the sharp edges and corners.  
Wear protective clothing and gloves, etc.  
Failure to do so could result in serious injury.  
SLEEVE INSTALLATION:  
STEP 1  
After unpacking the “WSC” SLEEVE from the carton, remove the corrugated FRONT PANEL.  
For immediate installation of sleeve and chassis (skip if installing chassis into sleeve at a later date):  
Remove the rear WEATHER PANEL. Reverse grille and place lower edge into sleeve tab (Friedrich logo facing  
out). Align slots with screw holes. Secure grille with screws.  
Place “WSC” SLEEVE in the wall opening following the instructions given in the INSTALLATION REQUIRE-  
MENTS section. Attach the SLEEVE to the INSIDE WALL by driving two #12A x 2” screws in each side of the  
SLEEVE (see Figure 1.). Shim at the top of the SLEEVE, midway between the sides. Drive one #12A x 2” screw  
in the top of the sleeve, close to the shim. Install screws from inside the SLEEVE. If the wall opening is not  
framed with wood, use expansion anchor bolts or molly (toggle) bolts (not provided).  
STEP 2  
Once the SLEEVE has been installed, check the LEVEL again to be sure the 1/2 bubble downward tilt is main-  
tained. Apply shims, if required, to maintain the proper slope.  
STEP 3  
STEP 4  
Caulk the perimeter of the entire opening on the inside and the outside between the SLEEVE and the WALL.  
The corrugated front panel removed in Step 1 above must be remounted back in place if masonry work is to be  
done and/or if the “WSC” CHASSIS is to be installed at a later date.

Be careful with the sharp edges and corners.  
Wear protective clothing and gloves, etc.  
Failure to do so could result in serious injury.  
Remove the black rubber gasket from the air discharge plenum of the air conditioner (see fig. A). Look inside the wall sleeve and  
check to see if a black rubber gasket is already in place along the bottom front (see fig. B). If one is not in place, thoroughly clean  
the sleeve area between the front unit rests and the raised ledge (see fig. B). Once this area is clean and completely dry, peel the  
orange backing from the gasket and apply it to the base of the sleeve (see fig. B). Once the gasket has been properly applied, the  
sleeve is ready for the air conditioner to be installed per the installation instructons.
