X

X

Fan motor relay

Jumper G and R for fan operation. Check for line voltage across BR

 

 

 

 

contacts.

 

 

 

 

Check fan power enable relay operation (if present).

 

X

X

Fan motor

Check for line voltage at motor. Check capacitor.

Unit Does Not Operate in

 

X

Reversing valve

Set for cooling demand and check 24 vac on RV coil and at control.

Cooling

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If RV is stuck, run high pressure up by reducing water flow and while

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

operating, engage and disengage RV coil voltage to push valve.

 

 

X

Thermostat setup

Check for 'O' RV setup not 'B'.

 

 

X

Thermostat wiring

Check O wiring at heat pump. Jumper O and R for RV coil 'Click'.

Insufficient Capacity/

X

X

Dirty filter

Replace or clean.

Not Cooling or Heating

 

 

 

 

X

 

Reduced or no airflow in heating

Check for dirty air filter and clean or replace.

Properly

 

 

 

 

Check fan motor operation and airflow restrictions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

External static too high. Check blower performance per Tables 9-13.

 

 

X

Reduced or no airflow in cooling

Check for dirty air filter and clean or replace.

 

 

 

 

Check fan motor operation and airflow restrictions.

 

 

 

 

External static too high. Check blower performance per Tables 9-13.

 

X

X

Leaky ductwork

Check supply and return air temperatures at the unit and at distant duct

 

 

 

 

registers if significantly different, duct leaks are present.

 

X

X

Low refrigerant charge

Check superheat and subcooling per Tables 20-23.

 

X

X

Restricted metering device

Check superheat and subcooling per Tables 20-23. Replace.

 

 

X

Defective reversing valve

Set for cooling demand and check 24 vac on RV coil and at control.

 

 

 

 

If RV is stuck, run high pressure up by reducing water flow and while

 

 

 

 

operating, engage and disengage RV coil voltage to push valve.

 

X

X
