Why is there ice on my coils of my heat pump?

Ice can form on the coils of your Carrier heat pump due to several factors:
1. High Humidity and Temperature Swings: In cold, humid conditions, moisture can accumulate on the coils. If temperatures drop quickly, the moisture can freeze before it drains properly.
2. Defrost Cycle Limitations: While the heat pump defrosts normally, the ice buildup on the bottom third of the coil suggests that the defrost cycle may not be fully clearing all the ice.
3. Low Refrigerant Levels: A refrigerant leak can cause the system to freeze up, as low refrigerant affects the heat exchange process.
4. Snow or Blocked Drainage: If the unit is partially covered or the drainage is blocked after a snowstorm, ice can accumulate on the coils.
A possible solution is installing a pan heater to help prevent ice buildup. If ice formation persists, checking the refrigerant levels and ensuring proper drainage may help.

How can I turn on my defrost mode?

To turn on the defrost mode on your Carrier heat pump, you can manually trigger it by jumping the two defrost test pins on the control board. Use a jumper wire or a screwdriver to connect these pins, which will speed up the defrost cycle initiation. Normally, the system checks conditions every 60 minutes, but this method forces it to enter defrost mode immediately. The defrost cycle typically lasts about 10 minutes or until the defrost thermostat closes. Once the defrost cycle ends, the system will return to heating mode.

Where is the defrost mode setting on my thermostat?

The defrost mode on a Carrier heat pump thermostat is not manually set by the user. It operates automatically when the system detects the need for defrosting. The thermostat controls heating and cooling modes, and the system will enter defrost mode as needed. If the system is set to HEAT or AUTO, the heat pump will function normally, and defrost mode will activate when required.
