Multiple Units Restored in Goulburn
Job summary
Multiple units were reported as not operational at a Goulburn site, including a front cab unit and an amenities unit. Assessment identified gas leaks on suction and discharge flares, with fan and board replacement work recorded for the outdoor unit. The job record also notes compressor testing, unit removal for replacement work, and reinstatement of components on site.
Customer report
The site had multiple units out of operation, with a front cab unit and an amenities unit referenced in the record. The reported condition included a fan fault on one unit and gas leaks on suction and discharge flares across separate units. The notes also refer to follow-up work for the outdoor fan motor and boards.
Diagnosis & technical assessment
Assessment identified gas leakage on an outdoor suction flare and on an indoor discharge flare. The record also notes a front cab unit with no fan while the compressor was operating. A compressor test was recorded as all out all fine, which indicated the compressor itself was operating as expected at the time of testing. The diagnosis is based on the recorded observations of leak points, fan failure, and the replacement direction for the outdoor fan motor and boards. The job notes do not set out a full diagnostic sequence for each unit, but they do link the operational faults to the observed leaks and fan-related failure. Model reference WRC-050CS and serial number 540N823350544240120010 were recorded against the outdoor unit.
This job record is derived from first-party technician notes and internal job management systems (SimPRO).
Solutions delivered
The recorded solution was to replace the outdoor fan motor and all boards, with the work planned as a follow-up against quote 30106. The notes state the unit would need to be reclaimed, unbolted and lifted down with a lifter before the component change and reinstallation could be completed. That approach matches the recorded fault pattern, where fan operation and board condition were both implicated. The job also references refrigerant handling during removal and reinstatement, consistent with the need to disconnect and later restore the outdoor unit assembly.
Tools, parts & systems used
- Lifter
- condenser fan motor
- outdoor printed circuit boards
- solenoid coil
- R32
Outcome & results
The record shows the outdoor unit was worked on and the replacement scope was set out for the fan motor and boards. Compressor testing was recorded as satisfactory, while the leak points and fan fault remained the key findings driving the repair plan. The job file also states the works were completed as per quote 29333, with further replacement work referenced in the later notes. The outcome recorded in the file is a completed service record with follow-up replacement scope documented against the affected unit.
All work was carried out in accordance with relevant Australian Standards and manufacturer requirements.

Repair vs replacement
Repair is generally suitable when a fault is isolated to a serviceable component and the remaining assembly tests within expected limits. Replacement is usually chosen when the fault involves multiple affected boards, repeated fan failure, or leak-related damage that affects the wider unit. In this job record, the compressor test was satisfactory, but the outdoor fan motor and boards were identified for replacement, which aligns with a component-based replacement decision rather than attempting a minor repair to the same parts. The recorded removal and reinstatement steps also indicate the work needed controlled handling of the outdoor assembly before the replacement components could be fitted.
If a heating, cooling or refrigeration system shows signs of a fault, such as burning smells, water leaks or tripping power, switch it off where safe and contact a licensed technician.
