ARI-HETRA Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full ARI-HETRA product range. Below are the major product families we service.
ARI-HETRA Semi-Hermetic Compressor Drive Electronics
Motor soft-starters, capacitor banks, and motor-protection modules for ARI-HETRA semi-hermetic compressors. Common faults include thermal overload nuisance trips, capacitor failure causing low starting torque, and contactor coil burnout under load surge.
ARI-HETRA Pressure and Oil Management Control Systems
Integrated pressure-switch assemblies, oil-return relays, and differential-pressure sensors for safe compressor operation. Typical repairs address stuck differential-pressure switches, failed solenoid coils in oil-return valves, and sensor signal degradation.
ARI-HETRA Thermal Sensor and Temperature Control Interfaces
RTD converters, thermistor conditioning circuits, and temperature-alarm modules for refrigerant superheat and discharge-temperature monitoring. Failure modes include sensor-connector corrosion, RTD open-circuit conditions, and false high-temperature shutdown events.
ARI-HETRA Vibration and Acoustic Monitoring Electronics
Accelerometer-based vibration detection and acoustic fault-signature capture for early warning of bearing wear and mechanical degradation. Repairs include sensor disconnection, amplifier saturation, and defective signal-conditioning stages.
ARI-HETRA Interstage and Safety Relay Modules
Safety-rated relay outputs, interlocked shutdown circuits, and emergency-stop integration for ARI-HETRA systems in hazardous areas. Common issues are relay chatter, auxiliary contact degradation, and solenoid de-energization failures.

Common ARI-HETRA Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in ARI-HETRA equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Capacitor bank failure causing low compressor starting torque — ARI-HETRA soft-start capacitor banks degrade under prolonged high-ambient conditions, especially in Indian summer months exceeding 45°C. Electrolytic capacitor dry-out and internal dielectric breakdown reduce displacement-start capacitance by 20-40%, preventing the semi-hermetic motor from reaching synchronous speed.
- ✓Differential-pressure switch stuck in closed position — ARI-HETRA differential-pressure switches accumulate oil sludge and contaminant particles in the pilot-porting orifices, particularly when oil-separator performance declines or filter bypass occurs. The internal plunger becomes hydraulically locked, preventing high-pressure pump-down shutdown and risking motor overheating.
- ✓RTD temperature-sensor open circuit causing false shutdown — ARI-HETRA RTD sensor lead corrosion at the junction box or compressor head wiring lug interface creates intermittent connection faults. Moisture ingress in IP54-rated thermowell connectors, common in condensing environments, generates false open-circuit signals that trigger unnecessary high-temperature alarms.
- ✓Soft-start thyristor gate-drive circuit malfunction and no load sharing — ARI-HETRA soft-start boards experience gate-drive transformer saturation and optocoupler LED burnout when subjected to voltage spikes from lightning strikes or regenerative load transients. Defective gate-drive timing results in uneven thyristor pair switching and asymmetric motor current during ramp-up, causing vibration and thermal stress.
- ✓Solenoid coil burnout in oil-return depressor valve — ARI-HETRA oil-return solenoid coils fail due to sustained high in-rush current from defective contactor debounce circuits or repeated rapid energize-de-energize duty cycles during capacity control. Copper winding insulation thermal breakdown occurs over 2-4 months in high-duty-cycle cold-storage facilities.
- ✓Vibration monitor false alarm due to accelerometer cable break and intermittent signal — ARI-HETRA accelerometer sensor cables, routed near hot discharge lines and subject to compressor head vibration, develop intermittent internal breaks in the shielded twisted pair. Flexing fatigue at the sensor connector terminal and compression-fitting strain create marginal intermittent connections that trigger nuisance alarms without actual bearing degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions — ARI-HETRA Repairs
Do you repair ARI-HETRA equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes, absolutely. Synchronics repairs the complete ARI-HETRA industrial refrigeration electronics portfolio — semi-hermetic compressor drive modules, pressure-switch assemblies, thermal sensor interfaces, vibration monitors, and safety-relay control boards. We offer PAN India door-to-door pickup and delivery from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and all tier-2 cities. All work is done in our Vadodara, Gujarat facility with 48-72 hour turnaround for standard repairs.
What ARI-HETRA fault codes can Synchronics diagnose and repair?+
We diagnose and repair all ARI-HETRA error sequences including high-discharge-temperature shutdown (DT), differential-pressure lockout (DP), low-oil-return alarm (LO), motor thermal overload (TH), and capacitor-bank failure codes. Our team cross-references ARI-HETRA technical documentation and has hands-on experience with ASK 26-150, ASH 28-90, and ODP series control boards. We provide detailed fault-report documentation including root-cause analysis and recommended preventive maintenance intervals.
Can Synchronics repair ARI-HETRA equipment with custom control-circuit modifications?+
Yes. Many Indian plants have integrated ARI-HETRA compressor electronics with custom PLC interfaces, remote monitoring systems, and local relay-logic modifications. Synchronics has successfully reverse-engineered and repaired hybrid ARI-HETRA systems in dairy plants, pharma facilities, and cold-storage warehouses. We document all circuit alterations, provide circuit schematics, and ensure repairs maintain safety-standard compliance (IS/IEC 60204-1, EN 60950). Custom integration support incurs additional diagnostic fees.
How often should ARI-HETRA capacitor banks and thermal sensors be preventively maintained?+
ARI-HETRA soft-start capacitor banks should be replaced every 4-5 years in Indian high-ambient industrial environments (>35°C average). RTD temperature sensors require annual continuity and resistance calibration checks, especially in condensing environments. Oil-return solenoid coils and pressure-switch mechanisms need biennial teardown inspection and cleaning. Synchronics offers preventive maintenance contracts starting at Rs. 8,000 annually covering capacitor-bank ESR testing, sensor calibration, and solenoid cleaning for typical single-compressor systems.
Does Synchronics stock original ARI-HETRA replacement parts or use alternatives?+
We stock and install genuine ARI-HETRA replacement modules where available. For obsolete ARI-HETRA component parts (capacitors, relays, connectors), we source exact-specification equivalents from ISO-9001 certified suppliers and warranty all replacements for 24 months. Soft-start capacitor banks, thermowells, and RTD probes are always sourced as OEM ARI-HETRA units to maintain system compatibility and warranty coverage. All parts carry part-number traceability documentation.
How do I send my ARI-HETRA unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a ARI-HETRA drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on ARI-HETRA repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your ARI-HETRA unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
