abnormally high, see steps 4, 6, and 7. If high side pressure is abnormally low, see 8, 9,
10, and 11. If low pressure is abnormally low, see 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13. If the high side
pressure is high and the low side pressure is high, see steps 3, and 4. If the high side
pressure is low and the low side pressure is low, see step 15.

2. If the outside temperature is abnormally high, there is an insufficient amount of cooling.

3. If the condenser is not being cooled, the condenser could be clogged. Clean the
condenser with water.

4. If the refrigerant is overcharged, remove the fluid until the correct level is obtained.

5. If the air is mixed in the freezing cycle, evacuate the refrigerant. Refill the refrigerant to
the correct level.

6. If the compression is poor, check the gasket at the head of the compressor for breakage.
If necessary, replace the compressor. Check if the suction valve is broken or clogged. If
necessary, replace the compressor.

7. If the expansion valve opens too much, the valve could be poor. Replace the valve.
Contact with the thermal tube could be poor. Repair the thermal tube.
