Troubleshooting Guide Repair procedures and reference refrigeration circuit diagrams can be found at the end of the troubleshooting guide. STEP 1: Remove the cover and verify that there is power to the heat pump, referring to POWER SUPPLY TROUBLESHOOTING below. If ok, proceed to STEP 2. STEP 2: Check to see if there is a fault code on the control board.
