4-Way Valve Heating Control
When the compressor starts in the heating mode, there is a 1-minute delay before power is applied to the 4-way valve to switch
the ow of hot refrigerant to the indoor coil. When the call for heat is satised and the compressor shuts o, a 3-minute delay will
occur before the 4-way valve is powered down and switches back to the at-rest (cooling) position.
If the 4-way valve does not switch into the heating mode, after 15 minutes of compressor run time and the indoor coil
temperature is below 41°F/5°C, the compressor will stop and the unit will display a 17-ash error code on the outdoor PCB.
Compressor Sump Heater
The sump (crankcase) heater keeps refrigerant at a higher temperature than the coldest part of the system. This prevents
refrigerant from mixing with the compressor oil and also dries condensed refrigerant inside the sump. The sump heater will be
energized when the ambient temperature is below 81°F/27°C and will be o when the ambient is 90°F/32°C.
