    Air conditioning heating but not cooling help needed



    So today I had an Fujitsu unit going into heating fine, but when I asked for cooling, it would come on for 20 seconds down to 9 deg Celsius then start blowing ambient air. Fan would ramp right down and turn off.

    I tested the pressures and in heating I'm getting 30bar and 35 bar, in cooling I'm getting 7 and 10 bar, tested the reversing valve and that's fine.
    Filters and coils clean.

    Any ideas would be great.

    It's a 15kw running two cassettes, so I have dismissed it being anything yo do with indoor sensors.

    Room temp was in the 20's

    Pull the charge and check the weight.

    Cooling pressures are low so the 4 way valve may not be changing over properly.

    Mind you, those pressures don't mean anything because we don't know what the refrigerant is.

    Re: Air conditioning heating but not cooling help needed

    Thanks for your response. I have tested the 4 way valve and that's working as it should.
    Sorry, the refrigerant is r410a..... I'm getting in the 50's when in heating, it's only cooling im having a problem.... so I guessed the refrigerant charge is ok if it's working in heating, or am I wrong?
    I dont do a huge amount of fault finding but am trying to get better at it.

    How have you dismissed the sensors as not faulty?
    Did you measure the resistances?

    it points at faulty sensor on indoor unit to me too if cutting off so quick , best to unplug it and check its resistance.
