Possible Causes

Sticking four-way reversing valve, Faulty reversing valve coil, Incorrect mode command from PCB, Low refrigerant affecting valve operation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before touching the outdoor unit. The reversing valve is part of the sealed refrigerant system.

  • Confirm mode: Verify that the remote is set to the correct mode (Heat or Cool) and that the display matches the desired operation.
  • Observe operation: When switching modes, allow several minutes for the system to stabilize. Some brief temperature swings are normal.
  • Technician checks:
    • Test the four-way valve coil for correct resistance and voltage.
    • Check refrigerant charge and pressures.
    • Replace the reversing valve or coil if confirmed faulty.
