Outdoor Piping - Ground Loop A closed ground loop is an excellent heat source for the heat pump in warmer climates, where the loop temperature is above 45°F (7°C) year-round. The WD-16 may be piggybacked onto an existing larger spacing heating ground loop, provided it has spare capacity according to its historical temperature data.

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.

Repair Procedures Pumpdown Procedure 1. Connect the refrigerant recovery unit to the heat pump’s internal service ports via a refrigeration charging manifold and to a recovery tank as per the instructions in the recovery unit manual. Plan to dispose of refrigerant if there was a compressor burnout.
Compressor Replacement Procedure 1. Pump down the unit as per the Pumpdown Procedure above. If there was a compressor burn out (motor failure), the refrigerant cannot be reused and must be disposed of according to local codes. 2. Disconnect piping. 3.
