Must be a swolen or shorted capacitor, that would be the first thing I would check If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

Hi,

Click here for the manual and wiring instructions....

Also check... I think you need to change one of the dip switches or more... for remote operation....it will be covered in the manual...

Hi,Check the filter and the coil for dirt...if clean then you have a refrigerant leak and need to add freon...heatman101

open your control area,
check your l1 and l2 conections this unit is usually 220v
the control is this simple

voltage in no voltage out change the board

did you check the reset switch on the power cord

Check for pressure in the refrigeration lines because if all fans are working and the compressor is running it should be cooling. Most of the time the system is flat or severly low on freon which would mean a major leak somewhere. But first hook up guages to the system and let me know what you find ok.

get second opinion from reputible repairman.

Clean the condenser coil, they have to be able to reject the heat. Clean it.

Sounds like when you turned the unit on 'cool' (and t-stat clicked) and the fan tried to start - that it blew another fuse. If I was there - I'd check the fuse and make sure it's ok, then I would check the 'voltage' coming into the unit to make sure I had voltage.
You should have 220-230 volts to the unit.

Is the fuse (you're talking about) in the unit? Or somewhere outside the unit?
I would think you would have a 'breaker' somewhere - that might be tripped. Note; it's possible that since your unit is 220-230 volts you could of 'tripped' one 110v breaker only - which would drop the voltage to your unit to 110-115 and not run your fan motor or compressor.
First things first - see if you have 220-230 Volts to the unit.
If you do - and the fan (and compressor) are not starting then you have an electrical problem, probably a 'control' issue, i.e. the t-stat or some other control has it off.
If you don't have 220-230volts or only 110-115volts then I would look for a tripped breaker or another blown fuse.
good luck

Either its out of frion, or it needs to be cleaned.

Solution: Openfront desk switch to allow occupant unit operation.

Please check once again wiring you have done to digital control. Thanks.

Keep heat mode and +3 degree minimum than your room temp. Check power to heater. If no power check PCB. Thanks.

when its quiet its the electic heat thats being used when its loud its the heating pump and the heating pump is what saves you energy and they can be a little loud when its on its normal. I work on these units at a hotel
