TROUBLESHOOTING

When troubleshooting problems with a WSHP, see Table 18.

Thermistor — A thermistor may be required for single- phase units where starting the unit is a problem due to low voltage. See Fig. 26 for thermistor nominal resistance.

Control Sensors — The control system employs 2 nom- inal 10,000 ohm thermistors (FP1 and FP2) that are used for freeze protection. Be sure FP1 is located in the discharge fluid and FP2 is located in the air discharge. See Fig. 27.
