recharge and start-up system. 

4.  Compressor valves are faulty/ 

bypassing. 

4.  

Use Rubber Mallet on Scroll Comp’s. 
before condemning. Replace 
compressor and evacuate, recharge 
and start-up system

.

 

5.  Compressor contactor dirty or 

pitted. (> .5 Ohms Resistance

temperature. 

       (Not enough 

heat/cold air)

 

1.  Thermostat fault. 

1.  Adjust thermostat settings / Replace 

thermostat. 

 

2.  Defective heating element(s). 

(Heating mode). 

2.  Check resistance element(s) for 

continuity.(Heating mode only) 

3.  Defective heater relay. 
     (Heating mode). 

3.  Check relay for proper operation.  

Replace if defective. (Heating mode 
only) 

4.  Thermal limit is open.  (heat kit) 

4.  Check continuity across thermal limit 

switch. (Heating mode only) 

5.  Compressor fault. 

5.  To reset switch, turn primary power off 

then back on; turn thermostat system 
switch to OFF, then back on. 

6.  Outdoor thermostat not connected 

or failed (heating mode). 

6.  Check outdoor thermostat and electric 

supplemental heat operation.  Confirm 
proper wiring. (Heating mode only)
