heat pump Indoor fuse keeps closing

[Delta313]

My heat pump worked well during the winter, but when the outside temperature started to climb up around 40F, I had to reset the fuse on my electrical pannel twice already.

The blower kept working even though the heat pump was no longer getting any juice. I only noticed it because the indoor temp started to go down. The Aux heat was set not to kick in above 23F.

The fuse is rated at 30Amps, way above what the heat pump needs at this temp which is around 15Amps according to the manual.

I am planing to call the contractor on monday but any suggestions would be apreciated. Any idea what could cause the indoor fuse to blow like this ?

Have your contractor check the MCA listing and also the Maximum Fuse Size listing on the model number plate. A 4 ton unit on a 30 amp breaker sounds wrong to me. The wire size also should be checked.

the model number plate says
MAX. FUSE AMPS OR MAX CIRCUIT BREAKER 40
TIME DELAY FUSE OR HACR CIRCUIT BREAKER REQUIRED

The system was installed when the outside temp was already very cold. The contractor mentionned that at this temp he could not check the charge properly.

So now that the temp is higher, I should ask them to make sure its not overcharged?
