YZF - Defrost Problem / Outdoor Coil Frozen

York Heat Pump: YZF

Re: Not Defrosting / Outdoor Coil Frozen

The board uses an Ambient (outdoor) Sensor and Liquid Line Sensor to determine the proper conditions for defrost to occur.


Qty Possible Causes:
Bad Liquid Line Sensor
  Bad Condenser Fan Motor
Bad Fan Capacitor
  Bad Defrost Board
Mis-Located Sensor
Low Refrigerant Charge
Bad Expansion Valve


CHECKOUT:

1. Check Outdoor Fan


2. Check Defrost


3. Check Liquid Line Sensor


4. Check Ambient Sensor


5. Check Refrigerant Pressures
