Re: Fujitsu Icing Up
How do you know the charge is correct?
Since what point in the circuit the ice is showing?

Re: Fujitsu Icing Up
I've seen this happen with some fujitsu asy17's on r22 fitted in server rooms a few years ago. Fault was caused by the compressor relay sticking on. Fujitsu supplied an uprated relay to be soldered on flying leads to replace the one on the board. Found room air temperature sensor cable tied to fan motor (sensor mounting bracket broken) on an amcor unit once, causing same fault. Is the indoor fan running ok? Temperature sensor saying rooms at 25c when its 0c ! compair resistance of sensor with that quoted by fujitsu. Hope this is of some help, let us know what you find.
cheers Jon

Re: Fujitsu Icing Up
Yep, sounds like the compressor has been running uncontrolled. Check the power relay circuit.

Re: Fujitsu Icing Up
Fan indoor unit switching on/and off on it's internal overload or controlled by a faulty probe.
Clogged airfilter.
Dirty coil.It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Hi
If it has some kind of frost protection like hot-gas bypass, cond' fan speed it worth chacking that it works ok
good luck

Re: Fujitsu Icing Up
monkey spanners and brian is most likely correct about the relay that controls the compessor being stuck on, had the same problem here with ast7,9 and 12's that were used for the same application.
if the unit is a non-inverter then this would almost be your problem for sure.
Easiest way to check for shot realy is to turn the unit off at the hand piece and if cpompressor is still running thats your problem.
Else it would leed you to believe a sensor is reading incorrectly"Old fridgies never die, they just run out of gas!"
