Check G wiring at heat pump. Jumper G and R for fan operation.
Jumper G and R for fan operation. Check for line voltage across BR
contacts.
Check fan power enable relay operation (if present).
Check for line voltage at motor. Check capacitor.
Check Y and W wiring at heat pump. Jumper Y and R for compressor
operation in test mode.
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.
Check for 'O' RV setup not 'B'.
Check O wiring at heat pump. Jumper O and R for RV coil.
Replace or clean.
Check for dirty air filter and clean or replace.
Check fan motor operation and airflow restrictions.
Too high external static. Check blower Tables 6-16.
Check for dirty air filter and clean or replace.
Check fan motor operation and airflow restrictions.
Too high external static. Check blower Tables 6-16.
Check supply and return air temperatures at the unit and at distant duct
registers if significantly different, duct leaks are present.
Check superheat and subcooling.
Check superheat and subcooling. Replace.
Perform RV touch test.
Check location and for air drafts behind thermostat.
Recheck loads and sizing check sensible cooling load and heat pump
capacity.
Perform Scaling check and clean if necessary.
Check load, loop sizing, loop backfill, ground moisture.
Check for dirty air filter and clean or replace.
Check fan motor operation and airflow restrictions.
Too high external static. Check blower Tables 6-16.
Check pump operation or valve operation/setting.
Check water flow adjust to proper flow rate.
Check load, loop sizing, loop backfill, ground moisture.
Bring return-air temperature within design parameters.
Perform scaling check and clean if necessary.
Check superheat and subcooling. Reweigh in charge.
Evacuate refrigerant, re-charge the system, and then weigh the new
refrigerant charge.
Check superheat and subcooling. Replace.
Check pump operation or water valve operation/setting.
Plugged strainer or filter. Clean or replace.
Check water flow adjust to proper flow rate.
Bring water temperature within design parameters.
Check for dirty air filter and clean or replace.
Check fan motor operation and airflow restrictions.
Too high external static. Check blower Tables 6-16.

Check for refrigerant leaks.
Check blower Tables 6-16.
See 'Insufficient Capacity'.
Check blower Tables 6-16.
Recheck loads and sizing check sensible cooling load and heat pump
capacity.
