Condensing Unit - Issue with cold room temperature

Symptoms

Cold room temperature too high

Likely Cause
  1. Thermostat set too high
  2. Undersized expansion value
  3. Undersized evaporator
  4. Insufficient air circulation
Remedy
  1. Adjust the setting
  2. Replace the expansion valve with one of a suitable type
  3. Replace with an evaporator with a larger surface area
  4. Improve air circulation
