You miss a service tech. ;)

If You Jump Circuts To Make Valve Go Into Heat Mode, You Need To Replace Circut Board ,make Sure You Have Proper Voltage At Coil

Ok, here's my story. I dont have alot of experiance with heat pumps so I thought I'd come and get some knowledge from the experts. I jumpered the rev. valve to see if the valve was stuck, it's not so now I need to know if its a relay and which one would it be. I need to know cause little ppl are cold.
I haven't had time to feel out my porfile.

Schematics are the best way to understand the circuit. It’s like a road map when you’re not sure how to get somewhere.

With the lack of details, we are left to guess, but it sounds to me like the plunger in the 4 way valve is stuck. Turn it on to heat and try firmly tapping the 4 way valve with the RUBBER HANDLE of your hammer. If you hear a click followed by a woosh of gas, you solved your problem

For how long? That is yet another guess.

Thanks for your help. I will give it a try.

It doesn't seem to me like the reversing valve would open when jumped if it was stuck

have you check all you low voltages from the stat to the unit?
