Just to let you all know I did all the checks and balances and it wound up being the circuit board. I guess it was intermitent and screwed the pooch when it decided it wanted to. HO is pleased...

Contactor pulls in compressor kicks on for a second fan does not come on at all then it all shuts down.

Its a GSZ1302416A Goodman Heat Pump I installed on Augest 29th of this year. The HO has been running this thing in heat mode only for the last 2 and a half months. They call last week and say its not...

when in heat mode the compressor kicks on for a second and kicks back off, cooling mode wont do anything now. Last week we were having the same problem exept it would run in cooling and found it was...

HO called again said heat pump doing same thing again. I go and check hps ok lps ok. run it in cooling mode and unhook orange reversing valve wire and there is no swoosh. shut it off and try to let...

Well some of you were right it was over charged and had a filthy filter. The HO didnt even know there was a filter to be changed. I showed it to them when I did the install but no recollection of it...

I appriciate everyones input on this. I think its high head pressure possibly the charge is off and the filter has not been changed.

Oh by the way its not a txv its an orific.

What I mean by briefly is a couple seconds, the fan doesn't even get going before it kicks off.

nope been running in heat mode for last two months, they havent used it for ac yet

Why did it run ok for two months if it was severly over charged???

Actually I never got the opportunity to put guages on the unit. because they were leaving and wont be back till next week, should have checked that first but was being rushed by HO

Normally you would hear a swoosh if it had right??? The reversing valve is energized in cooling mode. So when I ran it in cooling mode and switched it back to heat mode there was no distict swoosh,...

here is what I got. Goodman GSZ130241A 2 ton heat pump I installed it with new AH Sept 1st this year. Compressor runs briefly then kicks off in heat mode, runs fine in ac mode. hps is tripped and...

went and took readings again this is what I got this time.

Suction psig 64 SH 45 deg
discharge psig 238 SC 21 deg
Outside ambient 80
Inside temp 85
Supply temp 73
Return temp 85 12 degree...

I just looked at a 2 ton 10 seer heil that was running 275psig discharge 18 deg sc, 75 psig suction line 39 deg sh. Ambient was 85 inside temp 75. Compressor amp draw started at 5 went to 10 then...

can you be more specific. I got nothing out of what you posted.

What are you looking for? a condensing temp?
High Efficiency add 20
Medium Eff add 25
Standard eff add 30

can anyone tell me who publishes the best study material for the NATE exam? Also for those of you who have taken the test is it really that hard?

thanks

I believe they have VFD's variable frequency drive compressors and fan motors that will speed up or slow down depending on the load. These things are extreamly efficient and are supposed to last...

a screwdriver

So was I right? it came with oil allready in it?

Ok based on what?

Can someone on here can give me a ruff estimate of how many hours a year a residential condensing unit runs? say in the midwest, 4-5 months of cooling? 8-10 hrs a day? what do you think a annual...

Yes it comes with oil in it but it is very hygroscopic it sucks moisture out of the air if allowed to. As far as a specific amount ??? they come with oil in them.

I will go at this myself if I have to. learn more by trial and error than to just fold up and go drive a damb truck

AAS degree dang I did this twice today must be the turkey effecting my brain.

I had to check my resume just to make sure lol
