Test Equipment : Power supply 2 Electric valve Procedure : 1. Identify terminals 2. Apply power to the terminals. The valve should open while applying enough electrical power.

Test Equipment : Ohmmeter 3 Thermostat Procedure : 1. Identify terminals 2. Test the continuity. Lower temperature = short circuit Higher temperature = open circuit

DC motor 4 Fan Motor Test Equipment : Ohmmeter Procedure : 1. Identify terminals 2. Test the resistance between terminals. The reading should be 10 to 100 ohms for normal operation.

Test Equipment : Ohmmeter 5 Timer Procedure : 1. Identify terminals 2. Touch one of the ohm meter probes to the empty timer terminal and the other probe to one of the other terminals Reading should be between 2000 ohms and 3000 ohms. A reading of zero or low ohms indicates a timer that is faulty.

Test Equipment : Ohmmeter 6 Overload protector Procedure : 1. Identify terminals 2. Test the resistance between terminals. The reading should be 0 ohm or short circuit.

The overload protector (labeled "B" below) is connected by two wires. One wire connects to the compressor relay (labeled "A") and the other connected to the compressor.

Test Equipment : Ohmmeter 7 Heating element Procedure : 1. Identify terminals 2. Test the resistance between terminals. The reading should be low or short circuit.

Test Equipments : Ohmmeter, screw driver 8 Capacitor Procedure : 1. Identify terminals 2. Short both terminal using screw driver 3. Test the terminal using ohmmeter. The resistance will increase slowly if the capacitor in good condition. AC motor Test Equipment: Ohmmeter Procedure : 1. Identify terminals 2. connecting the ohmmeter electrodes between both of the motor's terminals, which should equal to a low finite value in resistance, depending on the size of the motor 3-phase motor Test Equipment : Ohmmeter

Test Equipment: Ohmmeter Procedure : 1. Identify terminals 2. Test the resistance between terminals. The resistance between primary and secondary winding must greater than 10 K (Shows an open circuit). 3. Test each primary and secondary winding resistance. The resistance should have low value each. Windings that have lower no of turn should have lower resistance. 4. Test the input and output while turn on
