Problem Causes Corrective Action
Compressor tripping on Internal Thermal
Protector - Fails to Start-Up and Run Long
Enough to Pull Down Temperature
CPR setting too high
Re-adjust the CPR to a lower setting - see
adjustment procedure
Valve Fails to Open
CPR setting is too low
Valve defective - bellows leak, pressurizing the
upper adjustment assembly
Replace valve
