4-Way Valve Troubleshooting; 4-Way Valve Solenoid Resistance Check - Gree Neo GWH09MA-A3DNA3A Installation, Service & Troubleshooting

Cooling Mode
Compressor
Discharge
To Condenser
Coil
Checking the 4-way valve in cooling mode requires
the measurement of 4 readings. First record the
temperature of the compressor discharge tubing,
secondly record the temperature of the tubing go-
ing to the condenser. There should be no more than
a 10 degrees difference between the two readings.
The next set of readings will require recording
the temperature of the tubing going to the suc-
tion line and the temperature of the tubing going
to the accumulator. Again, if there should be less
than 10 degrees difference between these readings.
A temperature reading higher than 10 degrees may
indicate a leaky valve (not fully shifter) or a block-
age in the valve.

4-Way valve solenoid resistance check:

Be sure all power is off to the unit. Remove the plug connecting the 4-way vale to the circuit board. Check the
resistance with an ohmmeter. The reading should indicate 1.8k Ω. If the reading is infinite, replace the solenoid
coil.

Checking the 4-way valve in heating mode re-

tubing, secondly record the temperature of the
suction line tube. There should be no more than a
10 degrees difference between the two readings.
