Code 9 |
|
|
|
|
Unit Short Cycles | X | X | Dirty air filter | Check and clean air filter. |
| X | X | Unit in 'Test Mode' | Reset power or wait 20 minutes for auto exit. |

| X | X | Compressor overload | Check and replace if necessary. |
Only Fan Runs | X | X | Thermostat position | Ensure thermostat set for heating or cooling operation. |
| X | X | Unit locked out | Check for lockout codes. Reset power. |
| X | X | Compressor overload | Check compressor overload. Replace if necessary. |
| X | X | Thermostat wiring | Check Y and W wiring at heat pump. Jumper Y and R for compressor |
|
|
|
| operation in Test mode. |
Only Compressor Runs | X | X | Thermostat wiring | Check G wiring at heat pump. Jumper G and R for fan operation. |
|
|
|
| Check Y and W wiring at heat pump. Jumper Y and R for compressor |
|
|
|
| operation in test mode. |
| 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 |
|
| 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 |
| 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 |
| X | X | Restricted metering device | Check superheat and subcooling per Tables |
|
| 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 | Thermostat improperly located | Check location and for air drafts behind thermostat. |
| X | X | Unit undersized | Recheck loads and sizing check sensible cooling load and heat pump |
