To check if the solenoid reversing valve is functioning, it is necessary to measure the resistance of its winding with a multi-scale measuring device (amperevoltometer).

Doesn't your company you work for have a senior Tech. versed in Heat Pumps? I was thinking that also. I have a policy in place where none of our average techs can diagnose an improperly shifting reversing valve without calling a senior techs. It's just to much money to lose. A halfway shifted valve is pretty easy to test for using a temp probe. Goodman's service manual for your unit does a good job explaining this.

How was the pressures in heat mode, equalized also, ( having your low side gauge hooked to the common suction? )

I can hear the valve switching, sounds weird not like a full switch, almost like it's bleeding, but the liquid line still sweating, compressor ohms good, clear to ground also, changing valve today, heelllpppp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
if the valve isnt switching why would you diagnose a compressor? do you get a bigger commission?
