Possible Causes

Control set to COOL or AUTO instead of HEAT, Stuck reversing valve, Faulty reversing valve coil, Wiring error to reversing valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use the control panel for mode changes; turn off power before accessing internal components.

  • Check mode setting: On the SPRSUN controller, ensure the operating mode is set to HEAT only, not COOL or AUTO.
  • Observe piping temperatures: Carefully feel (or use an infrared thermometer) on inlet and outlet pipes; in heating mode, outlet should be warmer.
  • Listen for valve shift: When switching between heat and cool (if supported), you should hear the reversing valve shift. If not, the coil or valve may be stuck.
  • Technician repair: A professional should test the reversing valve coil voltage and replace the coil or valve assembly if defective.
