Freightliner Refrigerator Troubleshooting Guide 750000005 (TJ18F) 750000011 (TJ22F) 750000026 (TJ18FP3) The LOAD DUMP module is defective if the unit operates while wired to the DANFOSS module. Replace Load Dump module. 9. If LOAD DUMP module is working properly, check the speed resistor. This component is used to control the speed of the compressor and is located on the “T” terminal of the DANFOSS module. Speed Resistor Turn off power

Freightliner Refrigerator Troubleshooting Guide 750000005 (TJ18F) 750000011 (TJ22F) 750000026 (TJ18FP3) Thermostat knob lead connections If the thermostat is working correctly, the multimeter should indicate continuity. In addition, check the speed resistor with the multimeter. This resistor is used to set the compressor motor speed. Connect multimeter leads to either end of resistor assembly and set meter to resistance, Ω. This is a 277-ohm resistor

Freightliner Refrigerator Troubleshooting Guide 750000005 (TJ18F) 750000011 (TJ22F) 750000026 (TJ18FP3) B: Insufficient Refrigerating Capacity. Check: 1. The door is sealed properly and the refrigerator is not positioned close to heat sources. 2. Ice build up in and on freezer compartment. 1/8” maximum. Defrost Freezer by turning power off and let ice melt. Do not chip ice off freezer compartment because freezer plate can be damaged. 3. The refrigerator is sufficiently venti

Check each pin (motor winding) for continuity to ground. A multimeter can be used in some cases but an insulation tester by “Meggar” should be used. If there is any continuity to ground then the compressor is internally shorted and will need to be replaced. This is not a field operation. 5. If a problem is not found in the
