POSSIBLE CAUSE
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Incorrect wiring.
Defective solenoid coil.
Reversing valve fails to shift.
Inoperative system switch.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Heating capillary tube partially
restricted.
Check valve leaking internally.
Reversing valve failing to shift
completely — bypassing hot gas.
TO CORRECT
Defective thermostat - replace.
Check if operating properly. Instruct customer
on proper use of control.
Clean as recommended in Owner's Manual.
Check heat rise across coil. Refer to perfor-
mance data sheet on heat rise at various
outdoor ambients. If heat rise is satisfactory,
check if insulation can be added to attic or
walls.
TO CORRECT
Refer to applicable wiring diagram.
Check for continuity of coil.
Block condenser coil and switch unit to cooling.
Allow pressure to build up in system, then
switch to heating. If valve fails to shift, replace
valve.
Check for continuity of system switch.

Block condenser coil and switch unit to cooling. Allow
pressure to build up in the system, then switch to
heating. If valve fails to shift, replace valve.
Check for continuity of system switch.
TO CORRECT
Check for partially starved outer coil. Replace heating
capillary tube.
Switch unit several times from heating to cooling.
Check temperature rise across the coil. Refer to
specification sheet for correct temperature rise.
Deenergize solenoid coil, raise head pressure, ener-
gize solenoid to break loose. If valve fails to make
complete shift, replace valve.
